I found a separate /usr convenient long ago. My / partition,
which contained /usr, had run out of space and there were other partitios
beside it, so I couldn't just expand it.

The simplist thing wasto put /usr elsewhere on the disk.

This whole situation is obsolete now that we have a logical voluume
manager, but /usr is still separate for historical reasons.

I have no reason now to keep it separate (it works), but ther users
will have their own issues.

I will put /usr beck on / when I have some spare time,
to avoid Debian-made problems later.
