I do not envy you this work. The documentation fallout alone... a quick and dirty scan of only the man pages that happen to be *currently installed* on my F40 system reveals that 487 / 2673 man pages in section 8 contain the string 'sbin' somewhere in the troff source.

While I'm sure SOME of those are generated using the relevant binary's install destination, and will update automatically when those binaries are being installed to a */bin path instead, I have a feeling there are also a LOT like mount.8, which contains 9 uses of /sbin/mount.(-something) hardcoded into its documentation source [1].

In fact, the asciidoc manpage sources from util-linux 2.40.2 (the current rawhide version) contain hardcoded '/sbin/'s in:

sys-utils/rtcwake.8.adoc
sys-utils/pivot_root.8.adoc
sys-utils/mount.8.adoc
sys-utils/umount.8.adoc
term-utils/agetty.8.adoc

With additional false positives (mostly listings of default search paths that contain /sbin and/or /usr/sbin) in:

sys-utils/setpriv.1.adoc
sys-utils/fsck.8.adoc
login-utils/login.1.adoc
login-utils/su.1.adoc
login-utils/runuser.1.adoc

...And that's just ONE package.
