FWIW, I don't think it is. It's an eternal whack-a-mole, it will be moot once we actually land the /usr merge, and even with having the libraries in /lib there will still be more subtle breakage due to udev rules or early init scripts calling stuff from /usr. Just because this *happened* to work a decade ago should not imply that we should be forever condemned to support each weird corner case. > I don't think so and I don't think that there is a lot of our userbase is > even using this (well apparently last time this broke at least tree > different people have opened a bug report about it) These for the record; it was three bugs, but from only two different people: https://bugs.debian.org/771652 https://bugs.debian.org/771723 https://bugs.debian.org/788913 Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
