Do we care about /sbin /bin linked to /usr/lib ?

For things that actually need run when /usr may not be available (grrr),
it's needed. In the ones you list below, that would include arping,
and audit*. For things like rpm or initrd-related tools, it's not really
an issue. (Of course, they may not actaully need to be in /sbin, but
it may be more trouble to move them.)
