That makes sense for an opensolaris-specific package, but the package
really isn't limited to that. And for someone's initial install and
testing it is a lot handier to drop everything under one directory (any
of /opt/opengrok, /var/opengrok, or /usr/local/opengrok would be
suitable and a symlink could fix a mismatch with the destination
system's conventions for local unpackaged additions).
