For reference, here are two points that came up on IRC:
- The administrator has no place in /usr, it's the package
manager's domain.
- Tools keep MD5 sums for files installed. When a file in /usr
changes, it is usually an indication of something fishy; thus,
certain programmes will fire alarms.
Lastly, the policy promises that /usr can be read-only and
guarantees software to be fully functional.
