Just curious why the .pacnew file is using the symlink /sbin rather than the /usr/bin from the old version:

/etc/passwd:
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/usr/bin:/bin/false
uuidd:x:68:68:uuidd:/:/usr/bin/nologin
dbus:x:81:81:dbus:/:/usr/bin/nologin

/etc/passwd.pacnew:
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/bin/false
uuidd:x:68:68:uuidd:/:/sbin/nologin
dbus:x:81:81:dbus:/:/sbin/nologin

The one on my system uses /sbin too, so AFAICT this hasn't changed.

No reason, I'll fix this the next time I do a filesystem release.
