Actually I dont mind at all if we put it in bin or sbin. The only thing
which is broken is that we have traceroute and traceroute6 in different
locations. And I request both maintainers to find a solution to this an NOT
close the bug reports unless this is solved.
If the persons involved can't agree we should simply have a vote.
BTW: i had asked thet in the FHS group to long time ago and even there
there is no consensus on traceroute or ping.
