What is the motivation for this change? If the upstream xfsprogs
developers think it should be installed in /sbin, why should we change
it?

In any case, the patch itself needs a description + your Signed-off-by
line. Also, it should be submitted to the upstream xfsprogs developers
to see if they might accept it. Otherwise I think we would prefer to
keep the existing behavior.

Thanks!

Thomas
