   Why do you suppose it should reside in bin? Inetutils installs it
   (and other utils as well) in $prefix/libexec. Use --libexecdir=DIR
   option to direct it some other place.

To clarify, daemons are installed in libexec/ and user programs are
installed in bin/.

   GNU's not UNIX, and therefore its policies differ from those of
   UNIX.  One of these differences is about how the proper
   documentation must be organized.

Indeed, and we are nice enough to provide man pages since it is easy
for us to do so (they are generated from the --help output), and
people seem to like them.
