You do have a point here.

I cannot find it, but I'm very sure I just read about /var also being
affected. But it looks indeed like that will not be necessary at all.

Thanks for your input and your time.
Personally, I don't really care that much. Either I somehow update my
initramfs (I expect this to be easy) to include the stuff needed
formounting /usr, or I extend my root partition and put /usr in it. I
still don't like that much, but there are just more important problems,
and it's really not such a big deal. Just another big update that needs
manual intervention, as it happens from time to time. Like the migration
to openrc for example. I wonder why no one complained about that when it
happened.
