We got two RC bugs before we had this check, but I don't remember
whether this was before the initramfs-tools change that mounts /usr.
But even with that I'm sure that we have a very small number of users
who believe that separate /usr without initramfs was ever supported,
and I'm sort of tired about arguing against that..

Anyway, we can certainly trim that check a bit, but only these two
aren't sufficient -- we at least need to cover the generators, fsck,
networkd, reply-passwd, etc. -- seems easier and safer to whitelist
programs like timesyncd or timedated which are safe.

Not sure where this linking would end up, I suppose in networkd? That
would then break with /usr being on the network and not using an
initrd. As I said, I have very little sympathy for that, but see
above..
