I feel that software generally shouldn't depend on where binaries are,
and should just use PATH.
Users (admins) should have freedom to decide what does to /bin,
and what to /usr/bin.
(btw I don't really understand why busybox has --install option,
I do it with shell script, but I won't remove --install)
