No, this is still a directory generally used for local tar.gz installs. And sbin is for admins, bin for users, right?.
(The suggestion to use /opt/* is ok. It's (as I've just realized) even what the FHS stipulates: "the directories /opt/bin, /opt/doc, /opt/include, /opt/info, /opt/lib, and /opt/man are reserved for local system administrator use". Hmm, Debian does not create any of the /opt (and /opt/{bin,doc,include,info,lib,man}), /var/opt, and /etc/opt directories in it's standard installation, and does not even mention those in the policy (chapter 10.1). I'll maybe have to set up cfengine to create those.. ;-).)
