Sorry about that. Skimmed the thread and looks like I missed out...

The problem is that there are two users: 1) libsmbios as Matt has
already mentioned, and 2) Dell OpenMange Server Administrator.
Specifically srvadmin-hapi has the code to use the dell_rbu code
(proprietary, no source available). The srvadmin-hapi code is embedded
into all Dell Update Packages (DUPs).

The problem being that any change to the paths breaks all released DUPs.
