Sure. A simple symlink will take care of that though :-)

Sorry. I should has said FHS not LSB (I get them confused sometimg :-)

See:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

It's not critical, although isn't Solaris moving to /opt/whatever also for 
third party software also? (I thought I saw Oracle 10g installed in there on 
a Solaris machine recently..) In any case FHS is for Unix systems... Not just 
linux..
