The Debian package (of v1.2-ish) has:
install -m0755 usb-boot $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-usb-boot
install -m0755 fel $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-fel
install -m0755 fexc $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-fexc
install -m0755 bootinfo $(PKG)/usr/bin/sunxi-bootinfo
I'd be happy to put that together as a patch for upstream instead.
The current packaging does not install nand-part, fel-pio, jtag-loop,
fel-sdboot or boot_head for various reasons (which I'd want to revisit
with v1.3). I'd be inclined to prefix them all with "sunxi-" too if I
were to install them.

Great!
