While reading the LWN article about this, I had a thought that might be interesting.
The packages should all install to /usr and $something should automatically manage the contents of /bin /sbin /lib (/boot?) based on the tools needed to mount /usr (perhaps plus some more recovery tools), just like we do with initramfs-tools/dracut automatically managing the contents of the initramfs based on the tools needed to mount the /usr partition. However, as Simon suggests it may not be feasible to automatically determine what the contents of /bin /sbin /lib should be. https://lwn.net/Articles/670071/ https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/568ce53e.9020...@debian.org -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
