Actually the reason is that even if it were in $PATH, many scripts
don't want to assume a sane $PATH where there are no paths that could
override /sbin/foo with /opt/blah/sbin/foo or /usr/sbin/foo.
That's one of the reasons to use %{__foocmd} instead of foocmd,
although I admit I trust rpm to provide a sane $PATH usually.
