The discussion in that bug report concluded that /usr/sbin is the
right place for nologin, at least according to the Debian way to see
these things (which is actually shared with the FreeBSD people).

The fact that RH/FC or OpenBSD put it in /sbin does not make it any
more correct. I'd like to hear abou ttheir reasons to believe that
nologin is needed in single user mode which is usually the only
situation where /usr is not mounted.
