Indeed, that's the one, thanks! It was even me who closed it :D
But maybe it should be re-opened.
I don't know why I didn't think about the fix I just suggested. Maybe
I didn't fully understand that filesystem indeed owned an empty /opt/
directory.

It should be very easy to implement, as I suggested in my previous
mail. The only problem is to measure the perfomance drawbacks it
causes.
