We developers should stop messing in root (I catch myself falling into that trap again and again, last time with shutter install lirc configs into root even altough /opt works as well :-)

Please pleas lern about the FHS before posting such things.

/opt is there for things that AREN'T packaged by the distribution. And the format is generally:
/opt/$VENDOR and then whatever layout under that.

Here's the relevant link to FHS:

Some alternate path like /usr/local would probably be a better idea in this case. Or even using unionfs-fuse on top of /usr infact that would be nice. Be always able to just unmount all the modifications.
