Hi Jamie,

As I wrote to Jeff, it would be best to explain in Debian Policy why debian 
packages should not install files in /opt, with preferably a short sentence 
clarifying that it is practically impossible to assure administrator's assent 
(that is in our interpretation).

I am not obsessed with installing files in /opt, it was an idea offered by 
one of the users in debian-kde and it looked plausible at that time. Neither 
am I trying to set a precedent, as Chris is responsible for KDE packages not 
me. I am going to help lower his load; I had volunteered for kdemultimedia a 
long time ago since I am developing for kde multimedia player...

Thanks,
