Just wondering what the official | location would be, after Per Jessen noted that /usr/local is not meant | for this.

In my opinion, /usr/local/... is the best place to put such things; /opt is really for third-party packages with complicated directory structures (e.g. Trinity Desktop Environment); I also keep things that need to be up-to-date, like browsers, in /opt. /usr/local is reserved for local resources, and the distro is not supposed to touch anything installed there.
