+/opt is in no way clean packaging. This is a violation of fhs
+( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES ), and a rpmlint error ( dir-or-file-in-opt ).
+
+A rpm should place stuff in /usr, unless there is a good reason.

+The whole conflicts/provides/requires were likely cleaned from our rpms,
+and if they are not, they should be since a regular desktop
+environnement should not need such provisions. 
+We do not had conflict between gnome and kde, or lxde and xfce, so I see
+no reason to add them for kde and tde. 
+
+They were the cause of major headaches in the past, so if a package is
+added, it must be clean before being uploaded.
