On page 6:

The "shareable" distinction can be used to support, for example:

   o A /usr partition (or components of /usr) mounted (read-only)
     through the network (using NFS).

   o A /usr partition (or components of /usr) mounted from read-only
     media.  A CD-ROM can be considered a read-only filesystem shared
     with other FHS-compliant systems, using the postal mail system as a
     "network".


(As easy as zless /usr/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs.txt.gz, /\/usr, n)
