Hmm not so many as it is all created from the mbse_root setting but yes there is a few that is not adjusted in the make file. Even more so if you have it already running at /opt. Your setting of usr/lib is no better and if anything worse if you are a user who splits the system in two elements, e.g., / for system with a partition of say 12 - 20 Gb and /home that is mounted to / as the second partition. This allows /home to be placed on any version or distro without changing any user settings other than creating the user accounts tied to specific uid's etc. As I run 3 - 4 as well as additional drives and now am installing a SSD I do not want mbse to be on the root/boot partition. This also in the event of a major system failure I can remove the drive containing /home and plug it in to my laptop with the users pre installed and can run the system from there until I get the server box back up and running.
