I think the best way to do this part of it is going to be to just follow
the upstream packages. When they release a new version that installs in
/usr, just allow that to happen. Eventually there will be very little in
/{bin,sbin,lib}, maybe nothing besides a couple of symbolic links like
/bin/sh.
I am not for what fedora is doing with the
/bin->/usr/bin, /sbin->/usr/sbin and /lib->/usr/lib symlinks.
