How the /usr in other partition ended finally then? I though that, since there are a lot of things in / that rely in others in /usr, people were supposed to either use initramfs or busybox to get /usr mounted Also, looks like Debian (apart of other distributions I have checked like openSuSE, Fedora and Mageia) is not providing static libs for them since 2011: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543163 Maybe are they handling splitted /usr in a different way? :/
