So my question is, how do you ask > aptitude to install Chrome in /usr? I don't know if this can be done using .deb packages and the apt system. If the software is available as a source tarball, then the installation script / instructions may contain a way to define the installation location. For your specific problem, why not just mount a different disk / partition onto /opt?
