It seems building it with a separate /usr is the only way to go. Just for
fun, I tried to build it with a /usr -> . symlink and a PATH with /bin 
before
/usr/bin, and of course, it fails. (it checks '/bin/pager' while it is 
in '/usr/bin').

Well, I think those problems are bound to happen everywhere, so we should
just decide to build packages only with separate /usr.

Thanks,
