If you are talking about random add-on packages that
is distributed from kde.org or whatever else,
that would be fine, as long as it is independent from Debian.
We, as Debian, do not use /opt.
We reserve it for third party software.
There might be a third party software which may want to install in
/opt/kde
We allow that to happen.
Please read and understand the policy, and why we have a good
reputation on not having touched /usr/local.
