No we don't. As a matter of fact, I've tried the Debian package only 
once on a test machine and I don't remember exactly how the layout was 
(probably binaries in /usr/bin, configs in /etc/nagios, and so on).

I use the default installation which puts everything in 
/usr/local/nagios as it is, imo, much easier to maintain, everything 
related to Nagios being at the same place.

One downside might be the configuration of the backup procedure: you 
have to remember to save not only /etc and /var but also 
/usr/local/nagios/etc and /usr/local/nagios/var.
