(I assume you mean "hadn't been")
If any of the maintainers involved consider mounting /etc from the initramfs
to be controversial or problematic, special-casing /usr but not /etc
is sufficient to unblock
<https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/MountUsrInInitramfs>.
(I personally think /etc is a distraction which is contributing to all
this stuff being delayed.)

so I'm marking this bug as blocking #652459.
