why not just use --prefix=/opt/bacula ?

the installed files will still be a simple collection of files.  I
don't think there needs to be a contradiction between LSB[*] and
the Bacula recommendation.

[*] or similar documents, LSB is not very far away from FreeBSD or
Solaris file layouts, it's small stuff like /usr/share/man rather than
/usr/man.

with --prefix=/opt/bacula, I would like the configuration to be in

  /opt/bacula/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
  etc.

(in 2.4, Bacula drops everything directly in $sysconfdir,
i.e. /usr/local/etc by default, which is quite messy.  a subdirectory
makes it clearer, and it's not a big hassle even if Bacula is
installed in a separate prefix.)
