We have this moratorium in place that says you should not move files
from / to /usr, because it could go bad when moving files.

ttbomk, those "bad" things only happen if you move files from /lib to /usr (under the same name) but *also* move it between different binary packages, which isn't the case here.


 However, in
this case, we are moving files from non-triplet to triplet and thus we
can safely move from / to /usr without the aforementioned risk. So we
may want to go the extra mile here and use the multiarch-conversion to
move all files to /usr in a safe way for stable upgrades and get rid of
a pile of complexity that way.

I agree.
Apparently this isn't the first time that dmraid has been bitten by this split-usr issue (and having to manually fiddle with the creation of the .so symlink) [1]

Getting rid of this unnecessary complexity would solve this once and for all.
