I get the point with /usr/kde not conforming to FHS, but imho the size of 
packages has nothing to do with their location. The main questions are, if 
the data is variable or static, shared or not. Could you enlight me about 
that?

I don't think that it should go in /opt, since the kde stuff is simply not 
more or less optional as everythin else. I wonder if it would be better to 
have /usr/lib/kde/x.y, /usr/share/kde/x.y,... directories!?
