Nah, just that /usr/bin/mock should probably execute
perhaps /usr/libexec/mock.py -- that way, you don't do
moc<tab><tab>
and get hits for both mock and mock.py and become confused as to which
you're actually supposed to use
/opt/ is reserved for sysadmin installation of add-on packages and iirc
is normally empty on a clean install. /usr/libexec/mock/mock.py sounds
like a good choice. The other option is to do similar to how yum does
it: /usr/share/mock-cli/mock.py.
