Bug#926544: startpar: why installed in private directory?

I agree. Regular users running startpar is probably very rare since
there are better tools for running jobs in parallel from the command
line, but anyone can technically use startpar effectively. I will update
the install location for startpar and update its (and insserv's) manual
page to section #1.

If I'm not mistaken /sbin is where the upstream Makefile suggests
startpar should go. Making this change would probably be best for
everyone to avoid confusion.
