We do support booting without an initramfs under controlled conditions, so the need to fsck / outside of the initramfs is real. /usr as a separate partition *and* no initramfs to mount it early is [unfortunately] a really bad idea on jessie/sid, we don't have to add support for that outside of the initramfs (but warning the user of the problem is likely to be a good idea). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
