Does it make any difference at all on a live ISO ? If it's setup merged, then anything referencing /bin (etc) will follow the symlink and access /usr/bin (etc).
However, as the default for Devuan seems likely to be unmerged, then it would make sense for the live ISOs to be the same. Scripts etc will have to be written to deal with the unmerged (split) layout so nothing should break that way - unless the script is written by someone assuming that nothing in the world runs unsplit any more. Any such scripts will need fixing to run on installed systems anyway, so would then run on a live ISO with split directories.
