Ubuntu policy requires avoiding absolute paths when invoking executables
from maintainer scripts, on the grounds that executables moving around
on the filesystem is a bigger problem than standard directories being
missing from the path. The same rule tends to be applied, less

Well, that's at least an argument for consistency; confirming this bug.
