There was a strong feeling on #maemo (and one I agree with) that the
auto-builder shouldn't be changing things in an uploaded package.

Other thoughts included:

   * Use of /opt is perhaps now a QA requirement for Extras
   * Can we somehow add a /opt check into minimae/maemian? Is it
     possible, and is it sensible?

Cheers,

Andrew
