That looks like an artifact from LTSP (http://www.ltsp.org/). I  
suspect someone has installed it into /opt (from parsing that line  
above). That .img file is probably an etherboot image or suchlike for  
booting via PXE.
I have never installed the ubuntu package for LTSP so I don't know if  
it would put it's files in /opt but I would assume no and that it's  
been manually installed.

Did you install LTSP? If not then it looks like someone has, otherwise  
it's normal. Does anyone else have access to that box?
