I fully agree.

A bit harder. The developer should be aware of where the files are put 
and have the control. As well because of the reasons Tim mentioned 
earlier in this thread. I think creating the folder in /opt/ is a quite 
easy and safe option. This applies of course mostly for new 
applications. And as soon as the bug with dh_fixperms is fixed in a new 
release, it is really straight forward to do that.
