Thanks for the patch.

The policy is adding the binaries which are cross-version compatible under
$PATH (/usr/bin in this case), and keep others in their own directories. Your
patch will probably break the latter, because we want users to specify full
path of the "other" binaries, so that things won't be broken.

So, unfortunately I will reject this.
