I wasn't discussing any particular command, and Manoj didn't mention the
FHS. I think if we (Debian) said "Early running init scripts can count
on the FHS required commands being in /bin:/sbin, and anything else
might be in /usr/bin:/usr/sbin", then Branden and I would be satisfied:
at least we would know where we stand. Manoj and Anthony have argued
(to my understanding) that the current situation of "Early running
init scripts can on on whatever the maintainers feel like putting in
/bin:/sbin" is acceptable. To me, it seems sloppy.

The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating
