This hasn’t been true on Debian for a while (partially due to the
systemd/usrmerge proponents, partially due to the difficulty of
deciding what needs to be present). You have had to either ensure
/usr is mounted by an initrd or it’s not on a separare filesystem
for a while, already (and that was fine with me, it’s the usrmerge
crap that totally pointlessly breaks things).
And no, I’m not going to embrace every unnecessary change thrown my way.

No; usrmerge is broken from the PoV of Debian’s package manager.
Running usrmerge breaks assumptions done by dpkg; you can probably
do it with RPM or something, but it’s not supported with dpkg.
