If you were to issue 'ls -l /' You'll find that /bin, /sbin, lib{32,64,x32} are linked to their counterparts in /usr/. I under- stand the logic in doing so. However, for specific reasons that would require exhaustive explanations that I would prefer to save us all from me doing, I would like to break this behaviour by having /usr genuinely be whole heartedly installed on its own partition. I'm cool with doing things the hard and painful way. Any details you can share that would allow me to figure out how to break, or divert this behaviour would be appreciated. I'm not elite with linux enough to figure this out, but I am comfertable with digging deep with the right background knowledge to navigate what's needed.
This is a very complex migration in progress. IIRC, before bookworm not having merged usr will work. bookworm will probably work, but it will fight you and it's not supported, and trixie plain just won't work. By the time trixie is released, everything will be in /usr according to dpkg. Scripts may no longer have consistent paths to the same application.
