I would suggest you find out why the binaries are in both directories in the 
first place.
Then we can discuss a solution!

Bug#1064800: menu: installs same filename to both bin and sbin

Dear Maintainer,

your package installs the filenames `install-menu` and `su-to-root` to both bin 
and sbin as opposed to just one of those locations.

This causes a problem on a filesystem layout where bin and sbin are merged into 
a single real directory, typically by sbin being a symlink to bin. Such a 
filesystem layout has become standard on some distributions now, and others are 
moving onto in their next releases.

Please pick one location and install it only there. /usr/bin is preferred over 
any other location.

Thank you for maintaining software in debian.
