It means all of them should deliver /usr for quite obvious reason: 
nobody knows which packages would be installed on particular machine. 
With 1,000,000 installation someone will definitely end up with /usr 
erased.
And "some" is not an answer anyway: absolutely clear condition should 
exist. It should be either one package (and everybody should depend on 
it somehow, maybe implicitly)  or all of them who have any objects under 
/usr.
