For binaries, why not use $PATH of the user cobbler is started as.
This would almost certainly always be root which should have these in
$PATH. This way allows people to do more interesting things by just
changing $PATH and cobbler will do "the right thing TM".
Indeed.
Service is still an exception but we could just have cobbler fire off
the rc scripts... which are still in the same location for Debian,
aren't they?
