And /opt is for local admins, not for package systems. In case it wasn't
clear; the reason I brought the discussion up was to figure out what changes
would be necessary to configure the paths at build time (for the Debian
packaging I'm doing, for instance), not so that the paths could be hard coded
to something else.

Well for a locally built install, I imagine that would be somewhere in
/var/local/. For the Debian packaging; I'd like to be able to configure the
installed package to use /var/lib/mbsebbs...
