As far as I can make out, their position is that a separate /usr is now only
supported if you mount it from the initrd - which to be honest seems a
reasonable way to keep existing separate-/usr systems working, without
defeating the "/ is small" justification for a separate /usr by gradually
migrating more and more of /usr into the root filesystem.
It doesn't really address the "/ as recovery system" use of a separate /usr
if your root filesystem can't boot unaided, but I'm far from convinced that
a separate /usr makes / significantly more reliable, and an entirely
separate installation (Debian Live on removable media, or a smaller Debian
install in a separate partition that isn't normally even mounted) makes an
even more reliable recovery system.
