I noticed that the util-linux module places several apps in /sbin.

    Tue Mar  7 23:34:41 2006          12800 sbin/agetty.exe
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:37 2006           9728 sbin/fsck.cramfs
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:37 2006          20992 sbin/fsck.minix
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:41 2006          26624 sbin/hwclock.exe
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:37 2006           7680 sbin/mkfs.bfs
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:37 2006          14336 sbin/mkfs.cramfs
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:41 2006           4608 sbin/mkfs.exe
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:37 2006          14848 sbin/mkfs.minix
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:41 2006          12800 sbin/mkswap.exe
    Tue Mar  7 23:34:41 2006           2560 sbin/sln.exe
 
Also in the package is the /usr/sbin directory with nothing in it.

    Tue Mar  7 23:34:35 2006              0 usr/sbin/

This looks like a mistake in packaging the module.  Shouldn't the apps
listed above be in /usr/sbin and not /sbin?
