9 Actually, since ulm pointed out in another thread that the
10 council has not mandated that we support separate /usr without an
11 initramfs, I am re-considering this.

13 In linux-only ebuilds, if we install everything in /usr as gregkh and
14 others have suggested, we can remove this call from them. Also, for the
15 other ebuilds that have this call, we can eventually disable the
16 function on Linux systems.
