  So, you agree then that:

 1. A separate /usr serves no practical purpose on a Debian/Devuan system;
 2. sharing /usr over NFS "is not practical" (no matter it's been done
    for decades);
 3. "you can't split the package database between separate systems"
    (whatever this means, who needs to split the package database and why?);
 4. having / and /usr constitute a "managed whole" is the only sensible
    way to go;
 5. "there is no practical purpose to the separation as in (1) above";
 6. "the separate filesystems can be treated as a managed collection. 
    It's still pointless though";
 7. following another path other that the systemd/Free(lol!)desktop and
    Debian one "It's simply impractical"?

  Please let me know, because the answer would have deep practical
effects to me.
