The biggest problem of NSS stuff depending on files in /usr/, is that
it is _impossible_ to umount /usr/ during shutdown when bash is used.
The reason is that bash look up a users username, and this loads the
NSS stuff, and the libraries loaded will lock /usr/.  When /bin/sh
point to bash, this mean that the umountfs script during shutdown will
block /usr/ from being umounted, and /usr/ will need to be checked at
boot (and might be corrupt in an unlucky case.

See <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/159771> for that old story.

Happy hacking,
