The old way imposes requirements that are no longer supported by upstream software. So, you basically have three choices: 1) Use old software that supports the old way 2) Develop new software to support the old way 3) Use an initramfs or pre-init script to mount /usr if it must be on a separate partition -- Thanks, Zac
