New issue 554 by [email protected]: Don't install files under opt/
http://code.google.com/p/ganeti/issues/detail?id=554

See http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.12.html and http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES

"/opt is reserved for the local system administrator use" as such using /opt is good if the admin installs from source, but not for packagers. It would be better to go with /usr/lib/ganeti/<version>/... or /usr/share/ganeti/<version>/... for non-arch-specific. But just /usr/lib/ganeti/<version>/... is enough and makes things easier.

Of course if there's a ./configure option to make it use /usr/lib/ganeti/ instead of /opt (or $PREFIX/opt) that helps, but I'm not sure it should be the default.
