While I agree with your general opinion (/opt is not generally used
by Debian delivered software) TETware seems like a good exception.
Its directory layout is not FSSTND compatible, and making it so would
break its main clients (the test cases) (this is assuming I correctly
understood your previous description). /usr/lib is somehow unappealing,
although I suppose it's the best second choice.
