So, you agree then that:
1. A separate /usr serves no practical purpose on a Debian/Devuan system;
2. sharing /usr over NFS "is not practical" (no matter it's been done
for decades);
3. "you can't split the package database between separate systems"
(whatever this means, who needs to split the package database and why?);
4. having / and /usr constitute a "managed whole" is the only sensible
way to go;
5. "there is no practical purpose to the separation as in (1) above";
6. "the separate filesystems can be treated as a managed collection.
It's still pointless though";
7. following another path other that the systemd/Free(lol!)desktop and
Debian one "It's simply impractical"?
Please let me know, because the answer would have deep practical
effects to me.
