If I'm not mistaken #1 is for binaries that will be called only by the
'main' binary. So for example, I know that cyrus-imapd has a number of
programs it uses to deliver mail and they are in a similar location as
#1. Whereas the main binary is in the system path. I could be wrong but
I'd go with #1.
