Just put the driver specific tool with the rest of the driver, that is somewhere below /opt/, and have the LSB DDK add the links to the right place. As it does now already for everything else. It's up to the to make sure there are no conflicts in their little piece of the file system. Personally, I'd suggest following the conventions of the GNU people modulo --prefix=/opt/, so your driver specific tools will probably live in /opt//bin/ or /opt//lib/.
