In those cases, you would never run dpkg inside the system with the
"shared" /usr directory, so for those cases having /bin /sbin /lib* be
symlinks or real directories is irrelevant.
The point of having /bin etc not be a symlink is *to stop confusing
dpkg*. If you're talking about a system where dpkg will never run, then
that's irrelevant and you can just do whatever you want.
