I set up:

   /opt/lvm-1.0.1             in the (small) root FS
   /usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1   in the /usr filesystem (on LVM)

I put the LVM tools at /opt/lvm-1.0.1/sbin, and symlinked them from =
/sbin.

I put the manpages in /usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1/man, and symlinked them
from /usr/local/man.

I put the runtime/shared-object (.so) library directly in /lib.

I put the development/static (.a) library in
/usr/local/opt/lvm-1.0.1/lib, and symlinked it from /usr/local/lib.

After all this, I wondered how difficult it would be to make a
Debian/Potato package out of it.
