required to replace udev with mdev could be used to create an initramfs to
mount that /usr , or alter the /etc/init.d/udev-mount to depend on an extra
service, which does nothing else, but mount /usr . With the latter, further
upgrades would just need to keep the extra depend in the init script, long
live config-protect.

IMO, initramfs adds yet another black box during server boot. Plus, udev is
getting more and more complex with all its intelligence. And yet another
daemon in memory, something I certainly don't need on my static virtualized
servers.
