No, the few packages which need stuff in /usr have scripts which wait
for some event (tipically the presence of /dev/log) before continuing.
I provided a function to do this and so far it has worked well.

The idea is that events should not fail depending on when they are
received, so there retriggering failed events a few seconds later would
have no effect.
