As we have to live with this stu.... that is optification can we atleast agree on how it should be done.

I look into /opt and see:

/opt/maemo
/opt/openvpn
/opt/fmradio
etc... etc... etc...

Also what needs to be optified? libs? or only large media files, executables etc...?

Reading:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...opt_and_MyDocs

Doesn't reveal much, the same for it's root:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...d_Distributing

The way I would see it is just have a secondary /usr like tree under /opt/maemo and use that only. Anything outside of that should be a valid bug... no need to put more of a mess than necessary.
