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)
