I do not worry myself with how packages call themselves - I have no idea how git finds 'helper' programs.
And, while I do use the term static - as to the libraries git uses - embedded is perhaps a better word, i.e., it is not making as much use of dlopen() (viewable by ldd output).
The prefix '/opt' was chosen to specifically not (re-)use and filepath already in use by others (e.g., AIX, BULL Freeware, Michael Perzl, AIXToolbox).
In short, it is possible - from my packages perspective - to have, e.g., the AIX Toolbox version of git installed.
I am working on an Ansible project - that would make it possible to use Ansible to load software packages - including dependencies. And, if that starts to work well I may even consider having dependencies (again).
