How about this case: - Make as default non merged-/usr for all buildds. - Make a choice of non merged-/usr or merged-/usr in the installer. - Users wanting merged-/usr install the usrmerge package and convert to merged- /usr. - We have two alternatives here: 1) For those not wanting merged-/usr: All is fine. 2) For those having merged-/usr installed: Re-run usrmerge to convert all newly installed packages to merged-/usr. Is this possible or is installing that package a install-once-only? Just a thought!
