I think it makes sense that packagers could put the LIBEXECDIR in the PATH so that 3rd-party scripts which call pg_ctl, initdb, etc. continue to work.  

Having packages that futz with the PATH is generally a bad idea, especially those that support side-by-side installations of different versions. None of ours (EDBs) will be doing so.
