Agreed. And implementing such a change as an upgrade, running on the
system that's being "adjusted", seems misguided.
A separate / and /usr only becomes an encumbrance when you boot the
system: there's no problem while the system is up and running.
So there's no reason to change it on a live system: wait until it's
down for some reason.
And read the Release Notes before a dist-upgrade!
Cheers,
David.
