Almost a decade ago, upstream moved their binary from libdir to sbindir. Historically, Gentoo symlinked the binary into sbindir to make up for this -- and when upstream moved to follow the Gentoo layout, the Gentoo symlink overwrote the actual binary. For some reason, at the time, the solution used was to add a USE=split-usr and install extra symlinks for /sbin -> /usr/sbin even though this didn't actually do something meaningful. The split-usr USE flag has issues and using it unnecessarily should be avoided if possible. Drop the USE flag, and the symlink, and stick with /usr/sbin as upstream intends. This should be 100% fine in all cases. The /sbin directory is only needed for users who both have /usr on a different partition, *and* don't use an initramfs. In such a case, it is nonsensical to provide a symlink in /sbin that is a broken symlink to an un-mounted partition.
