Should these not be /usr/bin and /usr/sbin ?

I believe that /bin and /sbin are for system essentials and /usr/bin for 
package installed binaries?

I haven't read the FHS on these, but empirically this seems to be used 
only for internal system binaries, ie not executed by the user.  On my 
systems /lib/whatever isn't pathed and so you couldn't run them from a 
command line

I agree that it could be helpful to have a multi-talented admin 
utility.  Additionally don't overlook being able to symlink the binary 
to some other name and have it execute as this function by name, ie 
"multicall" a la busybox, etc
