I read this question, but I'm more confused yet.
- In developer.ubuntu.com/showdown I read: "(2) run out of /opt" (I understand "run out" is not in /opt Am I wrong?)
- In https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Review/Guidelines#Packaging I read: "our package should install most files in /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/"
It's not clear for me if the app must be in the /opt or out /opt :$
Then, can I use the /usr? Will be the app rejected if it's on /usr?

You may be confused by the language; they all mean the same, ie:
The exceptions are:
/usr/share/doc/<packagename>
are permitted, such ascopyright
,changelog
, andexamples
./usr/share/applications
, but must have the prefixextras-
added to its name. Example:extras-foobar.desktop
for a package named foobar.extras-
added to their names. Example:extras-unity-lens-foobar.lens
for a package named unity-lens-foobar.
