Well, I think that's OK really. We want to stay compatible with
split-usr distros, but that kind of setup is really not at the focus
of what we design for.

I still think this should be named --usr. After all, moving those
files away from /etc doesn't really make sense on split-/usr systems
anyway, as it wouldn't help monopolizing vendor data in /usr
really... Or at least I think the --usr stuff is really about
monopolizing vendor data in /usr, and if you have a split-/usr system
then that goal is moot anyway...
