Sure. Sorry for publishing a new ballot before answering.

Yes. Clarified this point by merging it with the "separate / and /usr" one 
above.

Same here (clarified in the ballot). What I'm trying to say here is that 
installing (e.g.) libs to /lib instead of /usr/lib is usually a deviation from 
standard software building (either in upstream packaging, or in debian/rules), 
that needs to be maintained on the long-term.
