        I would prefer you do move it back to /sbin. A number of
 SELinux tools are moving to depend on audit, and some of these do
 require them to be functional before the other file systems are
 mounted. I can live with  them being in /usr, but that does reduce
 the functionality of user tools for SELinux in early boot.

        Thanks for taking up audit, BTW, or else I wqould have had top
 package it myself for lenny, and I don't really want any more
 packages than I already have.
