This weird argument goes back 25 years, when some of us were recompiling
KDE daily. Then, you'd add "prefix=/opt/kde" because, as those who wanted
it splattered all over the place discovered to their anguish, if the build
blew up you could easily delete everything from /opt/kde -- not so easy if
you've distributed it all through the filesystem.
I'd argue that more rather than fewer things ought to be nicely segregated
in /opt.
