Hmm. Way back I used to find that approach appealing, but that was
before I got comfortable with unix. For my system at least, now that
I use Debian (and it's *good* packaging system) I prefer having all
the conffiles in one subtree, all the executables in another, all the
variable data, etc., but I suspect this is probably a discussion for
some other list...
Last I heard the FSF, at least, was headed further in the direction of
per-type dirs, rather than away from it. If I understood correctly in
the HURD they have just /bin /lib /var, etc. However I suppose with
their union fs (where you can merge directories from different
locations onto one mount point), the distinction is a little hazy.
You could still use your approach and just mount /opt/*/bin on /bin,
etc. Though I wonder how well that would scale for the 1400+ packages
I have installed here :> Suppose it might be fine.
