bin an sbin will be probably merged in a future major release anyway as
systemd pushes for doing so, so that doesn't really matters.

That's the only small "ugliness" there is with this approach, as it would
not be required per se.

The alternative I see is that both life in /usr/bin, either with
"pve" and "proxmox" prefix in the name, respectively, or under the same
name but with conflicts on packaging level and this package here being
added only as Recommended for PBS/PDM/PMG to allow co-installation.

tbh. I'm not opposed of either variant, CC'in Fabian, maybe he can act
as tie breaker here.
