Sorry to have given a wrong impression but I am perfectly calm and well
aware that bash (and other commonly used basic utilities) likely aren't
going to move to /usr. I just wanted to point out that this move could
happen for somewhat more esoteric packages and that Devuan would then
have a bug on its hands.

I'm perfectly fine with fixing bugs after they've been found ;-)
Let's hope that happens before releasing, though :-)

Hope this clarifies,
