To mount /usr at boottime you need to boot with an initramfs.

Therefor you need at least

ii  initramfs-tools  0.118
ii  util-linux       2.25.2-2

which are available in sid. I don't know wheather this works on an
encrypted /usr, but at the end it works on sysvinit, upstart and
systemd. Check the BTS for initramfs-tools and util-linux.
