For one, it's pretty poor programming practice to assume path of any
kind.
Second, there are calls to other binaries with full path in this script
as it is, some even in /sbin:
grep bin /usr/sbin/update-grub
[ -x /sbin/mdadm ] || return 1
uuid=$(/sbin/vol_id -u "$dev" || true)
uuid=$(/sbin/vol_id -u "$root" || true)
if [ -x "/usr/bin/makedumpfile" ] && [ -x
"/sbin/kexec"]; then
if test -f "/boot/$name.bin" ; then
kernel="$kernel_dir/$name.bin"
for kern in $(/bin/ls -1vr /boot | grep -v "dpkg-*" | grep "^vmlinuz-") ; do
