Not a bad idea. FYI, I just checked the two Linux distributions in
front of me, Debian and VA Linux-enhanced Red Hat. Debian comes up
clean -- in that the only dynamic object dependencies are to libraries
in /lib, which personally I can live with. VA-Red Hat has seven
binaries in those directories that invoke libs inside /usr: four parts
of Linuxconf (ugh!), the BSD restore utility, and varmon (a utility for
managing Mylex RAID controllers).
So, off I go to file some trenchant bug reports.
