They intend to implement /opt as a major mount point. They also plan to
make /usr/local a very dangerous place to play. :)
I hope that Debian will make a policy of staying out of /usr/local.
This is way it is shaping up for each application:
Beside the binary in /usr/bin or /bin.

Folks,
These ideas are being posted here from net news per request.
Response is desired (even if it's not Debian priority)
