Why some of them go > to /opt while others are spread across dozen of dirs? Well. FHS specifies that everything needed to boot the system should got to /bin and /sbin. The base system (build system, etc.) should go to /usr. The rest should be /opt/itspackagename. I'm not quite a FHS fan. I use libexec dirs, but I still have my build system under /usr (and my home under /usr/home), and the rest (X, KDE et al) lives under /opt.
