This might sound like a stupid question, what will happen when a package built on a usrmerged System will be installed on a non-usrmerged system? Will binaries move from /usr/bin to /bin? Or will binaries move from /bin to /usr/bin? The former is likely to cause fun on upgrades, since root file systems on systems that were installed with /usr on its own partition tend to be rather smallish. Dumping the entire former content of /usr/{bin,sbin} to /{bin,sbin} is likely to wreck those systems, most of them probably being either embedded or in big datacenters where people usually don't waste disk space for root file systems.
