My (occasionally) unhumble opinion is this sounds like a notable #FAIL
before the system ever even gets its engine running. Makes one wonder
what else might silently glitch just beyond sight or log files and as
a direct result of this.
Sounds like this creates a possibility for highly important system
wide [symlinks] to /usr and similarly affected directories to miss
making their connections at a critical moment. Is there some kind of
testing that could be done to extensively... well... test that aspect?
Isn't systemd where someone was upset about remarkably long boot times
early on in these recent discussions? Maybe at least one part of their
issue could be traced to this... or not. :)
