New optification issues in extras-testing

[Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

it's likely wait too late for such a question, but why doesn't just /opt/bin,
/opt/share etc exist with the system looking into those paths as well?

Noone would have to care about optification then, no symlinks would
be required and most packages could just be optified by "configure --prefix=/opt".

I must be missing a very obvious thing that makes the current solution better/nicer/whatever.
