Now they are also pushing hard for the RH invention UsrMerge, see 
https://packages.debian.org/sid/main/usrmerge and the discussion on debian-
devel.

In my opinion the change should be the other way around (as GNU/Hurd tried to do
a few years ago): ln -s /usr /, i.e. files in /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/ should be
moved to /bin/ and /sbin/, respectively. Same for /usr/lib to /lib etc. (of
course successively).
