mkfs and fsck in /sbin



Hello,

On the GNU system it will be usual for normal users to create
and maintain their own filesystems, typicaly on removable media.

Hence they need mkfs, fsck and other filesystem-related utilities
available in the /bin directory instead of /sbin.

Do you agree with that? In that case we should start fixing it
by filing a bug against package "general" and waiting for active
maintainers to fix their packages.
