If a binary is not intended to be launched by users directly (see postfix, dovecot or git), it doesn't belong in $PATH:
""" It is recommended that supporting files and run-time support programs that do not need to be invoked manually by users, but are nevertheless required for the package to function, be placed (if they are binary) in a subdirectory of /usr/lib, preferably under /usr/lib/package-name.
