They could, Debian is in the process of unifying the bin directories, see: https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge

Realistically it's not much of an issue.

Given that you start out with a 31.4 MB image, I don't honestly think the introduced complexity in your build is worth the it. It's a good lesson, for people would doesn't know about build images and ships an entire build pipeline in their Docker image, for a bash script and a <50 MB image the complexity is a bit weird.

Oh, wasn't aware about UsrMerge, thanks for sharing.
