It's still possible to use /usr as a separate filesystem (I hope we can
avoid derailing into an argument about whether that's a sensible thing
to do, and simply note that we have a hard-to-determine but definitely
non-zero number of user systems in this configuration), and permitting
relative symlinks from /usr/lib to /lib would break such a setup.
