Not to add the good old old '/usr/ mounted via NFS' setup. Each package in / should not depend on /usr. Guess a test should be added in rpmlint or distlint. But i don't see how to do it, since ldd resolve the dependancy at runtime. Maybe checking that a each package owning a binary in /bin should only depend on /lib, and so on ? -- Mickaël Scherer
