Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

   I was trying to install a specific Windows 11 version so I donwloaded
   the zip from https://uupdump.net/, installed the dependencies and ran
   the uup_download_linux.sh script to actually download the iso file. Problem
   is, it complained that I didn't have chntpw. So I ran apt-get install
chntpw.
   Then apt-get told me that it got installed but the script would keep
   complaining that I didn't have it. I am new to Debian and didn't know
   that /usr/sbin wasn't added to $PATH by default (I've been a long time
   Ubuntu user and Ubuntu always had it in $PATH by default). Then I did some
   research and learned that /usr/sbin isn't added by default because it's
   meant to have programs that require sudo and are used for system
administration
   and since chntpw doesn't need sudo it probably doesn't make sense to keep it
   under /usr/sbin.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     I had to add /usr/sbin to $PATH in .profile

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     The script ran flawlessly

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     I didn't expect to have to change my $PATH to include /usr/sbin because
     chntpw doesn't require sudo
