In fact, `mtr' (My Traceroute) is in /usr/bin, so I really don't know
why traceroute is in /usr/sbin.

Additionally, Bug#20738 was about moving traceroute tu /usr/bin, but
Peter Tobias closed that bug without doing that.

I would really want traceroute to be in every user's path.  I hate
having to write "/usr/sbin/traceroute" all the time.
