Rather than fighting the mostly political fight of usr-merge, my first thought would be to make a whole new directory on the root partition. If you're looking for a name for this new directory, it could be: /screw_freedesktop_poettering_and_redhat Just kidding. I'd probably call it /bb . Put all the static executables needed in early boot there. If there are a lot, it could have subdirectories, and a bb.d subdirectory with scripts to be performed in order. Of course, if you do this and it succeeds, freedesktop, poettering and redhat will find ways to muck with it, so there may come a time when defensive measures must be taken. But we can safely put this off until later.
