Since you decided to go there: what are the benefits of forbidding it, if any? I know it is currently not supported in Debian, but so far sysadmins have the possibility of getting it to work, if they like, and with relatively little effort. If we keep pushing more and more stuff under /usr for no reason except the (quite feeble) ones purported so far in debian-devel, we will make the prophecy become automatically true. There is no reason to make the life of "unaligned" sysadmins any harder than it is now. The fact that you can't see a use case does not mean that you should do anything in your power to make it impossible.
