Fedora doesn't set /bin anymore in the $PATH
IMHO we should follow that practice, post-Trixie.
I disagree that we should do that.
AFAIK, the usr-merge was not about moving everything to usr/bin (that's an
implementation detail) but about making /bin and /usr/bin equivalent.
So, while we could in theory drop /bin, doing so might involve undesired
side effects. For example, some configure script might look in
the PATH and decide that sh is in /usr/bin and ship shell scripts
as #!/usr/bin/sh. Sure, this will work for Debian stable, but it breaks
backwards compatibility without a real need to do so. AFAIK, the aim
of usr-merge was not to break compatibility, but quite the opposite.
Thanks.
