Please read the last email and don't start yet another thread. We
were discussing about not installing any binaries and libraries
into /bin, /sbin, and /lib but rather into /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
and /usr/lib. /bin and /sbin could then be symlinked to /usr/bin
and /usr/sbin for compatibility reasons, /lib needs to remain as
it contains other things.
Upgrading from one release to another, i.e. creating symlinks
would need to be handled by a scriptlet.

I'm not clear what exactly is being proposed, but any significant
shuffling of /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib will potentially impact a
lot of existing installs.
