That shouldn't "break stuff" unless avahi and/or hal use paths to
dbus-send or stuff like that (dhclient-script does this, I've fixed it).
Perhaps they do. Anyone care to check?
I'm putting a symlink in /usr/bin/ to "fix" this but applications should
fix this by looking in /bin. Also if you did not update your SELinux
policies you will get breakage. Other than that applications that don't
do anything wacky should not break.
