Bug description:
$ env -u PATH /bin/sh -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
$ env -u PATH /bin/dash -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
$ systemd-run --unit test-env env # ... and check journal for PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
$ env -u PATH /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.
$ env -u PATH /bin/busybox sh -c 'echo $PATH'
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
$ grep 'export PATH=' -r initramfs-tools-0.131ubuntu10/
initramfs-tools-0.131ubuntu10/mkinitramfs:export PATH='/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'
initramfs-tools-0.131ubuntu10/init:export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
dracut.sh has DRACUT_PATH=${DRACUT_PATH:-/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin}
exported as PATH
dracut-047+31/modules.d/99shutdown/shutdown.sh:export
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
$ cat /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
apt & dpkg => should probably initiate /usr/local-less PATH
Imho the rest should probably be harmonised to:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin

I believe later releases of bash, do too include CWD in the built-in
PATH.
