Uh. I did not realise this -- and have made one package that uses
/opt/maemo itself... have to change that.

Maybe I have to settle with /opt/packagename (did I mention I dislike this) 
as there is no "official" directory (as /opt/maemo should not be used).

Some going to /opt/xxx, other (desktop/service etc. files) to /usr/...

I'll have to check what MADDE (mad pscreate) can do.
