Keep in mind that following upstream and the /usr merge are somewhat orthogonal. You can just install those binaries in /usr without merging everything over. The only issue is that without the merge anybody embedding a path to these binaries would have to fix their packages. Presumably to aid the transition a symlink (at the file level) would be needed for some period of time. -- Rich
