I think I see two potential solutions to this: 1) /sbin should be added to every users path on i386-gnu systems. The concept of a binary that is completely unusable for regular users is almost unheard of for us. (The only few that come to mind is init, fdisk, and grub). 2) We could put ask for certain files to be made available in /bin by symlink and list them. In either case, it should probably be done as an annex to the FHS rather than going to the Debian maintainers.
