Doing a proper /usr-merged migration is what we should have done from the beginning. I've been doing that with all the library packages I maintain that were under /lib. That includes acl, attr, libaio, libbsd and libmd, and I know others have been doing this too, so there's plenty of precedent with this. Thanks, Guillem
