The issue is not with *split* /usr, it's with the scenario currently |
| 10 |
being adopted by many Linux distros (e.g. Fedora or Debian) in which |
| 11 |
/bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64 are symlinks to respective subdirectories |
| 12 |
of /usr. The purpose of the changes at hand is, as described by floppym |
| 13 |
in his initial post, to pave the way towards making merged /usr workable |
| 14 |
on Gentoo for the average user. |
