I don't see any point in doing this as opposed to just moving everything from sbin into bin and making sbin a symlink to bin. If we're going to add them both to the PATH, that means there's no longer any effective difference, and we should make that explicit. Let's not create another halfway situation that makes no sense in its own right and exists only because we can't make up our mind between two mutually-exclusive alternatives. Either it makes sense to separate root commands from regular user commands or it doesn't. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
