Can we please put /opt -> /usr/opt and the empty /opt tree in the base
package, before things get any worse ?

Also I propose to mandate in the policy manual that packages which use
/opt should provide appropriate links or files in
/opt/{bin,lib,man,include,info,doc} and that packages which search
paths must look in /opt too.  Comments ?  (And see the recent
FSSTND/FHS work on /opt - it's deliberately very vague.)
