I like that debian's bash package has different paths for users and the
superuser, but it's caused me to question ideas behind the placement of
some programs in 'sbin' directories.
For instance, a program joeuser uses often is 'traceroute' (which is in
/usr/sbin). Other (questionable) ones might be /usr/sbin/fbset or
/usr/sbin/lpc .
Which is wrong? Is it bash' assumption that "only the superuser executes
stuff in sbin," or that "these programs should be in sbin?" Essentially,
by question boils down to "To which packages should I apply a bug
report -- bash or the others?"
This discussion might belong in debian-policy, depending on your answer.
