Description Lucian Muresan 2008-04-07 15:35:19 UTC 
Sometimes 'sudo' is needed to be installed in /bin when
/usr/bin is not yet accessible (like in sys-apps/hprofile - see linked bug). Had to patch the ebuild (with optional USE flag, patch following). BTW, is it worth not keeping this 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

As Mike said.
