Agreed. I wrote a bug report about that and then found it was already reported, so summarizing: 1) login.defs can drop /bin and /sbin from its default PATH: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1041362 2) Setpriv could be amended to support login.defs: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/3560 3) I think 'gradle' failing on PATH=/bin:$PATH is buggy and should be fixed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1104784 4) The policy manual or developers reference could be amended to say that packages MUST only assume that /usr/bin and /usr/games (+ /usr/sbin for su/root) are in PATH and MUST handle being invoked as another alias. /Simon
