I think it is in everyone's best interest to have a common view of the
problem, so just changing the dependency in sysutils/bpm won't changee
much.
Either we change *all* dependencies to executables in
/usr/local/{sbin,bin}, or we set the PATH to include
${LOCALBASE}/{sbin,bin} in bsd.port.mk, or we require users to have
/usr/local/{sbin,bin} in the PATH.
As far as I am concerned I would go for solution #2, and I think
requiring users to have /usr/local/{sbin,bin} in the PATH (which is the
default in /usr/share/skel/dot.profile) as a workaround until we have
things fixed seems OK to me.
