bash has 'type' which equivalent to which. Why can't you export /usr? I believe there was talk of doing things for NFS mounting but it seems difficult and/or kludgy to me.

Since I (and thus them) mainly use bash and it isn't part of the installed base. On that topic, perhaps there could be an interface via the WWW so you could type in the name of a program (say unzip), and see what package you need to download to install it. Lastly, I had been reading the FSSTND and was wondering how the members of the Debian team were interpreting it. Are you/will you be making available packages that reside in /usr/local/ ? Although the FSSTND says that no distribution should put anything there initially, it does not specify what can/should happen post installation. I, personally, would like things in /usr/local/ so I could NFS export/mount that particular tree to numerous machines.
