Package: diod
Version: 1.0.24-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

your package diod installs files into /sbin.
For the ongoing UsrMerge effort [1], /sbin should become "empty", IOW
packages should not install files there, but instead into /usr/sbin.

I think diod could move these files now. I am guessing that diod
would not see backports; if it did, please note that such changes must be
reverted for bookworm (or earlier).

Attached you will find a patch implementing this. Please apply it at
your earliest convenience.

Thanks,
Chris
