      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...
