The alternative for distributions is to put big packages with lots of

But executables should really end up in /usr/bin, non architecture specific

In this situation I do not mind /opt ...

as paul says,
opt/ is a fine solution for this, as everything just

/opt at all. it just created a *third* possible install location.
