# AWS's upstream packaging expects every binary under
# /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/. The ctl wrapper, the
# start-amazon-cloudwatch-agent script, and our own user-data
# scripts all resolve binaries via that path. Installing into
# /usr/bin (via dobin) broke the ctl wrapper's config-downloader
# invocation and forced us to hack around it.
#
# Mirror the upstream layout so the ctl / fetch-config / translator
# flows work out of the box.
