    I checked and I was wrong, based on the option offered years ago in
Busybox and Buildroot (/usr/bin was a symlink to /bin and /usr/sbin was
an symlink to /sbin). I'm amazed; I find this amazingly stupid. It just
makes no sense because /usr is a nonsense - /usr means "users'
directory", which is now /home) - and I was hopping to see it disapear.
On the opposite, it becomes the actual root of the OS.

    I now understand the concern of Steve: it looks like the beginning
of an attempt to force initramfs on people, even if it is not effective yet.

    There remains the option to make /usr a symlink to /, let dpkg use
it blindly and ignore it in real life.
