"/usr merge" is the process of making /bin, /sbin, and /lib to be

several other distros now, and also in Solaris 15 years ago.
Benefits from /usr merge are described here:

In few words, the script is run once to merge /usr on a running system.
Also, the script is installed in post_src_install hook to perform /usr
merge during package updates or installations.
The site doesn't describe any real problems.
Also I don't see how the current dir tree is not compatible
with gnu autoconf/automake.
