+1 on dropping the check again. It has always been an approximation anyway, and the last time this got broken through a libaudit library update [1], not a systemd upload, so that we couldn't catch it anyway. But enabling merged /usr was the final nail in the coffin -- let's drop the check. > 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.

Something like Separate /usr partition ======================= If you have /usr on a separate partition, you *must* use an initrd which mounts /usr. Otherwise your system will most likely fail to boot. ?
