[AG-DEV] RAT/VIC in AG packaging

A question for packagers (or anyone else with comments, which is
why I'm addressing ag-dev):

I've been considering placing the RAT/VIC binaries in the bin
directory on the various platforms so people have them
more readily available, instead of having to trudge down into
~/.AccessGrid/local_services/VideoService or similar.  Not that
I want to encourage people to run the tools by hand, but they
are significant parts of the toolkit and people tend to reach for
them often enough that they should perhaps not be obscured.

Q:  Does this present any problems for packaging?  (for example,
on linux, conflict with standalone rat/vic packages)

Other relevant comments are also welcome.

Tom
