We dropped support for split-usr a while ago, which means that the programs will be in /usr/sbin, which actually may be the same as /usr/bin on merged-bin systems. So the whole checking is mostly pointless in the usual case. OTOH, on Nix the paths will be totally different and need to be set through the option anyway. So save time during builds by using the "fallback" path unless the option is specified. This avoid some busywork during the slow serial build phase.
