well, this would work, but then your /usr will be eventually be out of
sync with the rest of the system ... say a binary in /usr is dependent
on a particular version of a library in /lib ... if you apt-get upgrade
the server without upgrading the LTSP chroot, or install new packages
... it gets ugly fast. so, mounting /usr in any way still requires
keeping all systems in sync.
