It was suggested on the jigsaw-dev list that I raise this issue here.
The jeps command appears to have no /usr/bin symlink.
which jdeps
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jdeps
I believe this command was introduced with JDK 8.
One thing that I considered a minor issue is that this misses the JDK 9 early access I have installed.
It was indicated by Mandy Chung on the jigsaw-dev list that...

If this is true, ‘part of OS install’, I would guess they may not of even been updated for JDK 7, and no new Java commands from Java 6 on will ever have OS X /usr/bin links going forward.
That seems to be the concern?
