No matter whether we merge “/bin” or not, “/usr” should stay > read-only. The dpkg database IS read-only as long as you are not installing or removing packages, which you cannot do anyway if /usr is read-only. In other words, the read-only state of the dpkg database is tightly coupled with the read-only state of /usr.
The only corner case which would require some more thinking is how to handle changing diversions of files in /etc in the systems with the read-only /usr, and for the time being "don't do that" could be a totally valid solution. -- ciao, Marco
