Where do you think the following binaries should be installed to? The

- bin/

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?
- libexec/dovecot/ (or lib/dovecot/ in most Linux distros)
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
