Hello,

a MR for couchdb[0] was recently created that installs to /opt/alpine
since couchdb puts both architecture dependent and independent files
into that directory. As of right now we usually just install to
/us/lib/<package name> (e.g. for firefox and chromium), even if the
package also puts architecture independent data into that directory.
Should we adhere to what we've been previously been doing, or should we
start adopting what FHS dictates here too and change things over to
/opt/alpine/<package>?

Regards,

Rasmus Thomsen
