The separation of / and /usr is a relic of really, really tiny disk sizes.
Like, for example, ARMv7 systems with a 128MB NAND to boot from, keeping /usr
on a separate storage like SSD? Doesn't sound like an obsolete ancient relic
I have a N900, that is not news to me and has already been addressed by

In the last case I'm aware of where someone tried a stock
system with a split, Maemo, the /usr split was deemed inadequate and they
instead decided to move most stuff to /opt while stuffing the usual
places
with symlinks -- adapting packages enough to have / capable of booting
would
require too much work.
