No more than git-sh-setup, which already works like that. Unless perhaps by “core” you mean “not contrib”.

(Now that I think of it, I saw a request from an Ubuntu PPA user last week to install git-subtree in a more accessible location, and there’s a similar request about gitview at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152212 . These are less critical since the Debian package puts them in /usr/share/doc/git/contrib. Is it a good idea to package those somewhere like /usr/lib/git-core or /usr/bin, or is that a dangerous slippery slope? I dunno.)
