Not quite. See http://www.pathname.com/fhs 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs for on-line HTML):

"Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
3.4.2 /etc/opt : Configuration files for /opt

Host-specific configuration files for add-on application software
packages shall be installed within the directory /etc/opt/<package>,
where <package> is the name of the subtree in /opt where the static data
from that package is stored. No structure is imposed on the internal
arrangement of /etc/opt/<package>.

If a configuration file must reside in a different location in order for
the package or system to function properly, it may be placed in a
location other than /etc/opt/<package>."

Also, you need %define _localstatedir /var/opt, which I forgot to
mention the first time.

(about sysconfdir, the default for all packages is $(prefix)/etc, not
/etc).
