Tell this to kdecore hackers who designed it that way, and that way is being
used by everybody else including unices other than linux. It's messed up just
in debian. And may I add that KDE hackers loathe the debian packaging
somehow? [*] There is some major misunderstanding there, some not-so-wise
people somewhere decided that the common KDE installation applied in other
distributions is not FHS compliant, althought it *is*, and now everybody and
his dog thinks that /opt/kde3 violates FHS. It would be much more consistent
if kde was just there in /opt/kde3. I don't say anything about KDE2, it's
already obsolete. Trying to change KDE2 packaging would not be a good idea.
Now is a good time to follow wisdom of KDE hackers and install it in
/opt/kde3 as we should. So that we don't have all of KDE cluttering the whole
filesystem namespace (such as /usr/share/<x>)
