This has always been my concern with Debian, they do things their way,
without doing it the way it is intended to be. BTW this is not meant to start
a distro e-mail war, just my humble opinion. They are missing the Unix
idea...

I would certainly not go for /opt. If I was free to choose I would say, use
/usr/GNUstep for the stable install and /usr/GNUstep-<cvs-snapshot-date> for
the development version. This way you clutter the system a bit, but one is
able to play with different version at the same time.

Just my 2 cents.
