no; I do not have the resources for this :( I did a static analysis of
recent recipes and fixed the obvious things.

Change will cause probably some silent breakage which can not be detected
by static analysis.  E.g. the last /usr/libexec -> /usr/lib/${BPN} change
broke dropbear sftp which remained undetected for more than a half year.

We are at the beginning of a new release cycle which is a good time for
this change.

Things *are* expected to move around.  E.g. /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
becomes /usr/lib/sftp-server now.
