[gentoo-amd64] where is sed supposed to be?

I have two systems with the same baselayout
(sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9-r2) and sed (sys-apps/sed-4.1.5) package
installed.  Yet the older system has symlinks in /usr/bin/sed and
/usr/X11R6/bin/sed -> /bin/sed.  `equery belongs` claims no ownship for
the symlink eithers so I can only assume that this is bleed through from
a previous baselayout on the older system.  I'm tempted to just remove
the symlinks on the older system as it's causing me some grief is moving
binpkgs from the older system to the new installs but isn't /usr/bin/sed
a POSIX defined path?

old system:

$ whereis sed
sed: /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed /usr/X11R6/bin/sed /usr/share/man/man1p/sed.1p.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/sed.1.bz2

new systems:

$ whereis sed
sed: /bin/sed /usr/share/man/man1/sed.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1p/sed.1p.bz2

-J

So /usr/bin/sed isn't owned by anything here, either.  You are likely 
correct about the /usr/bin/sed location being standard, however.  

As for /usr/X11R6, as you can see, newer xorgs have it to /usr, so 
anything that puts anything there puts it directly in /usr instead.  
However, the lack of anything else owning it as a dir indicates I don't 
have anything doing that here.  (The Gentoo xorg modules have been 
updated to put their files directly in /usr.)
