Reading the docs, I found out why it is hardcoded: we were supposed to use /etc/alternatives to select which policy-rc.d to use. But since nobody ever packaged any policy-rc.d implementation, that angle was mostly forgotten.
Looking through that angle, and also taking into account the uncertainity (and silent bugs) that one would get if all PATHs are not the same when package maintainer scripts are being run (does dpkg force the path to a known good value, perchance?), well, it might be best to leave the hardcoded location in place. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
