Correct.

This was discussed in the /opt BOF at the summit. The conclusions here were:
* Files accessed regularly by *other* processes (such as .desktop,
.service and icons) SHOULD NOT be in /opt.
* Every application SHOULD be in /opt.
* Doing this on device (with the current approach) would slow down
application installation too much, and make debugging in
Scratchbox too hard.
