Alright, this is your opinion and it is wrong.
It's possible to use NFS even for root partition, you can check
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt
I did not say in my post that mounting /usr doesn't work for me. It works.
I only worrying that I cannot make it work without having certain libs in
/usr/lib. I believe that linking against them /sbin files is not good idea
and wondering if there are any steps in Devuan to avoid /usr/lib
dependencies for files that are stored in /sbin and /bin directories. That
seems a proper logic that files in /bin and /sbin depend only on libraries
stored in /lib directory.
