I think the idea is to place symlinks in (/usr)/sbin as par of a
fhs-compat package.  Otherwise the bins actually go in (/usr)/bin.
"root only" is extremely muddy these days, especially because as
non-root I'd like to explore syntax options and usage statements before
I invoke the command with sudo.
