Not use /opt ? Isn't that what the LSB spec and FHS V2.0 is specifying?

That aside the same issue comes up with /usr/bin and the like too. I don't think there is an easy answer to it. For many things its implicitly obvious what people expect (eg if your default cc is not gcc you will never be able to do any useful package building on Linux), java I don't know.
