FHS 3.8: /opt/<package>/

[gk4@us.ibm.com]

How does one resolve /opt conflicts between similar packages being released
from separate sources?    What does one do if there are two or more java,
cc, etc?

/opt/java/, /opt/vendor1/java/, /opt/vendor2/java/, and /opt/vendorN/java/

or

/opt/java/, /opt/java/vendor1/, /opt/java/vendor2/, and /opt/java/vendorN/

Does the later require a name registry?   What is the rule for who gets the
primary /opt/<package>/?
