Without judging what you say, It's not a reason to break them!

You're not alone to provide a smtp forwarder "virtual" package and the
path provided by all must be the same.
We cannot ask to users and others packagers to update their path if it
is not the same accross smtp forwarders.
Some packages will works with exim and others will not works with
postfix, openstmpd, ssmtp, etc.
The fail2ban package is a good example.
This let no time to others to rebuild against the new path without
breaking things and make us rush because you decide.

This is *strong* reasons to revert your change.

My suggestion is to wait Allan runs the final /usr move, because
fixing the path in all _not_ packaged scripts or webapps  is boring
and not necessary.
And we will need to be synchronized for the final step, so it will be
easy to fixed package at this moment.
Let's be pragmatic.

Cheers,
