That's non-trivial, afaics. > But as far as I understand, we require /usr is available early, that is > /usr must already be mounted by the initramfs if it is a separate > partition.

We should clearly communicate this then, but I have no good idea how. Ideally we'd have a preinst check which tests if /usr is separate and there is no initramfs. But a check for that sounds brittle. The second best would be, to document it officially. So next time a user comes around like in [1] or [2], we can simply point him/her there and close it wontfix Michael [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771652 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788913 -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
