No, as a non distro-official package it should install into its own prefix in /opt.

- jjgreen 13y agoAccording to https://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard https://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard /opt is for "Pre-compiled, non '.deb' binary distributions", and then using the standard bin/ share/ .. subdirectories. The "own prefix" convention is for RH variants IIRC
- YokoZar 13y agoThese aren't "proper" debs though -- they're not provided by the distribution, don't use the standard build tools, and so on. The closest analogy I can think of is the new packages you get from the paid portion of the Ubuntu App Store (ie, not universe), and those indeed conform to the /opt/vendor standard (with a few exceptions for things like a .desktop file).
