Maybe i can help you with this bogus behavior of the Debian package management: The error "dpkg - warning: while removing apacheds, directory `/opt' not empty so not removed." is triggered when dpkg tries to remove a package from a directory which is not used by any other Debian package, thus it looks empty to dpkg, but if you've placed other software under /opt it's not empty on the file-system layer. After installing you can check with "dpkg -S /opt" what packages depend on this directory. In my case, where I was able to reproduce this error, apacheds was the only owner of /opt inside the dpkg database. I'm not aware of any workaround to prevent this message as it's just doing it's intended job.
