No reason not to. I think it is pretty clear cut. The script expects
/sbin/dhcpcd, we have /usr/sbin/dhcpcd. I'm not too familiar with the
meaning of the directories. I'm not sure if dhcpcd is in the wrong place,
but one of the two spells should probably be fixed, seeing as they don't
currently work out of the box.
