Description Lucian Muresan 2008-04-07 15:30:52 UTC 
Sometimes 'find' is needed to be installed in /bin when
/usr/bin is not yet accessible (like in sys-apps/hprofile, see the dependency of the bug). Had to patch the
ebuild (with optional USE flag, patch following). BTW, is it worth not keeping
these binaries in /bin?

ebuild patch

optionally (by USE flag "rootfs") installs binaries into /(s)bin instead of
/usr/(s)bin

i'm not interested in shuffling a lot of binaries from /usr to / just to satisfy a random package
