/usr/share/doc or something like that.

Just because you choose to put tde into /opt does not mean that the docs 
should not or can not be installed into /usr/share.

If you would place those things where LSB says it should go then that 
issue is completed and would need to be addressed when and if tde can go 
into /usr as it is already done and completed.

That's what I do in my current PKGBUILDS... I put it where is goes by 
LSB as long as it does create trouble.

ie if a package has the man files in /usr/man I relocate them in the 
packaing process to /usr/share/man/man[1..8]

namcap is very good at finding those things and a simple

install -vdm 755 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man
mv ${pkgdir}/usr/man/* ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man
rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr/man

and I am good to go.  See nothing too hard and it is now where LSB and 
most distros expect it to be.
I don't have to monkey with the man paths etc....it just works!
