Personally, I'm against the idea on principle, because the bin/sbin distinction is not a cross-platform concept (Windows does not have it). For the core tools, I'd prefer *not* to include tools that encourage platform-specific behaviour (I've seen too many projects in the past which would work perfectly on Windows except for something like this). As a 3rd-party setuptools extension providing utilities that make writing POSIX-specific packages easier, I see no problem with it, though.
