    Turns out we cannot install ELF binaries below /usr/share, at
    least for Debian (generates lotsa warnings) - these are meant
    to be architecture-independent files only.  So, ended up with
    PCP_BINADM_DIR pointing at /usr/sbin now (no other packages
    have their own executable dirs - even X11 is using /usr/bin).

Without having investigated, this one rings warning bells (just remembering the pain we went thru after SuSE moved this a while back).

In any case, /usr/sbin isn't the right place for binaries that
normal users or root should not be running directly. /usr/lib/pcp
would be a better location, IMO since it wont be in anyone's
path.

Thoughts?
