In more details, this warning means Debian packages should not install into /etc/opt, because it is reserved for add-on software.

We have no choice to where we put those manifest files: they have to be in /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts-hosts for Chrome to be able to locate the coapp.

If there is something to fix here, it's in the Freya warning reporter code or in Chrome for using another location for the native apps manifests (but this won't happen since there are so many applications writing their manifests there).
