For some value of "works" -- the change between stable and testing (and perhaps
some backports) is that some libraries in /usr are now required during boot.
The initramfs has mounted /usr since before Jessie, which helped a lot with
the countless big and small bugs that occur from the / vs. /usr split. (The
/usr merge, once it lands, will fix this once and for all.)

As Felipe explained, this will only work if your initrd then also mounts the
file system that /usr points to.

This is a totally inappropriate ad-hominem attack. Once more and we will ignore
further bug reports from you.

This is totally correct information, not a "communication problem".
