Given that sccs is a legacy system, and that other major unices do not
have them in their default PATH (eg. Solaris requires you to add
/usr/ccs/bin to you PATH to get them), I find it reasonable to let the
user the Debian user add /usr/lib/cssc to his own, and not deviate
from upstream.

Given that you're not the 1st person to request this, I guess it would
make sense to add a note in README.Debian about that.
