Again, here's my personal list-at-a-glance of things to look at:

bind:
   /usr/sbin/rndc

chkconfig:
   /sbin/chkconfig

freeipmi:
   /usr/sbin/ipmiconsole
   /usr/sbin/ipmipower

hardlink:
   /usr/sbin/hardlink

iproute:
   /sbin/ip

module-init-tools:
   /sbin/lsmod
   /sbin/modinfo

net-tools:
   /sbin/arp
   /sbin/ifconfig
   /sbin/route

ntp:
   /usr/sbin/ntpq

pciutils:
   /sbin/lspci

usbutils:
   /sbin/lsusb

wireless-tools:
   /sbin/iwconfig
   /sbin/iwlist

That's 16 commands from 11 packages.  Yes, there are a few more, but not
all that many.  How hard would is be to just fix these (either symlink
or just move to /bin or /usr/bin as appropriate)?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
