Keep in mind that following upstream and the /usr merge are somewhat |
| 10 |
orthogonal. You can just install those binaries in /usr without |
| 11 |
merging everything over. |

The only issue is that without the merge anybody embedding a path to |
| 14 |
these binaries would have to fix their packages. Presumably to aid |
| 15 |
the transition a symlink (at the file level) would be needed for some |
| 16 |
period of time. |
