If anything then /usr would be the prefix for all packages; nothing
would be installed to /bin, /sbin or /lib. (And there is no /share or
/local.)
But this is obviously only possible if non-merged-/usr is not supported
at all as that would mean shipping only /usr/bin/sh and no /bin/sh; the
/bin -> /usr/bin symlink would then be required.
