<shrug> Maybe.  If people are used to running it by hand, or from a startup
script (I run a similar daemon from my .xsession), then having it in
/usr/bin may be useful.  If it's strictly intended as a system-wide daemon,
then /usr/lib would be more appropriate.

Unfortunately, Linux apps go into /usr/sbin for two different reasons --
either they're intended for superuser use only, or they're daemons.  It's
not clear how to tell them apart.
