Move it to /usr/bin . From the FHS v2.2:
[begin quote]
4.10 /usr/sbin: Non-essential standard system binaries
4.10.1 Purpose
This directory contains any non-essential binaries used exclusively by
the system administrator. System administration programs that are
required for system repair, system recovery, mounting /usr, or other
essential functions must be placed in /sbin instead.
[end quote]
traceroute is not used 'exclusively by the system administrator', nor
is it needed for bootup, so it must go in /usr/bin. Pretty simple.
