It's OK for the install to distribute sbin/ files to /sbin/ and /usr/sbin
on the target machine as is appropriate.

So here's another idea. Try this on for size:

I still create an admin/src/ directory and put under that directories
for compiled programs. These programs compile their binaries into
the admin/sbin directory, or admin/lib if it ever comes to that.
The install then would be able to find the things it installs in the
sbin/ and etc/ directories as now.

I think it is OK to have the src/ directory as an exception. This to
some degree mimics the layout on a target system anyhow, that would have
a /usr/src directory.
