No way.
Agreed. And implementing such a change as an upgrade, running on the system that's being "adjusted", seems misguided. A separate / and /usr only becomes an encumbrance when you boot the system: there's no problem while the system is up and running. So there's no reason to change it on a live system: wait until it's down for some reason. And read the Release Notes before a dist-upgrade! Cheers, David.
