It wouldn't be for a subset of booting setups. It is perfectly possible for a certain set. If I make a make a kernel package, I can certainly say that that this package supports direct boot to disk without initrd and with a separate /usr, with the constraint that it don't support e.g. lvm and other setups. Why not agree on a certain set of programs/libs that should be in /bin, /sbin, and /lib, just to not break my and others packages. That set don't need to cover all booting possibilities.
