If anything then /usr would be the prefix for all packages; nothing would be installed to /bin, /sbin or /lib. (And there is no /share or /local.) But this is obviously only possible if non-merged-/usr is not supported at all as that would mean shipping only /usr/bin/sh and no /bin/sh; the /bin -> /usr/bin symlink would then be required.
