In a nutshell: Keep things as are, but if there really is a command

If we were to keep things the way they are, we need to munge sudo so
that it takes into account the sbin paths. Continually doing "sbin foo"
and getting foo not found is infuriating to no end, combined with the
guessing game of "is it /sbin or /usr/sbin I must call out on this
system this week".

This is exactly what we need for this problem.

I don't know if other people use this at all or not, but something I find
incredibly useful about having sbin and friends in PATH is that I can
tab-complete many of the sbin commands I use on a regular basis. This
convenience means one of the first things I add to my .bashrc on a new
account anywhere is 'export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin"'.
Having sudo look in /sbin and /usr/sbin does not address tab-completion in
bash.
Regards,
bash can be persuaded to provide tab-completion for rather exotic
situations... Including stuff like "service ht[TAB]"...
