I suppose one counter argument would be that util-linux appears to be actively
developed - more so than shadow or sysvinit (this is just my impression - it
may not be the case over the longer term). So one could take all the binaries
from util-linux as they appear (they do seem to be producing more of them over
time) and drop the duplicates from other packages.
