What you don't seem to understand, though, is that quite a lot of
people, including Daniel Stone who is the current maintainer,
actually don't care about whether it violates FHS|Policy or not.
They say: Using /opt/kde sucks. Reasons: 1. Sets bad precedent, what
if all Debian packages worked this way? 2. How do you get the
binaries into the path given the fact that you're not allowed to
touch /opt/bin. 3. How can you be sure you're not messing with
third-party or local administrator set up packages?
I agree: Using /opt/kde sucks. And although I share your opinion that
the current solution is not optimal, I think /opt/kde would be way
worse.
