This seems almost definitely true, it should probably be organised
just like the SLIP userland utilities are, pppd in /sbin with
slattach, other related utilities elsewhere where appropriate
(/usr/sbin).

It's surprising it isn't there already, every other utility that's
required for bringing up network interfaces (except, quite reasonably,
gre) already lives in /sbin.
