maybe

but even if not, it don't matter and would not break *anything* because 
after that *both* paths would be valid, independent from which unix-like 
OS you start a script with a hardcoded path

and it would avoid the topic to ever happen again

now that we survived UsrMove (even if there are still broken packages 
like glibc providing only /sbin/ldconfig and breaking deps when packages 
using /usr/sbin/ldconfig - and the same for perl) that change would only 
make things really clear
