As near as I can tell from examining various FAQs, there is no support for maintaining clients with a read-only, NFS-mounted "/usr" partition. The only current solution seems to be: (i) install a complete system on the server and a base system on the client; (ii) remove the client "/usr" partition and mount the server "/usr" in its place; (iii) configure the client's packages by hand. Is anyone working on support for NFS-mounted "/usr" partitions (as opposed to NFS-mounted installation)? (I'm imagining support in "dselect/dpkg" to check the server's package versions, update non-"/usr" files, and perform needed configuration, possibly even remotely.)
