I don't know. Could be that the intention was to keep the cross-compiler
dir hierarchy as flat as possible. The fact that usr/lib is symlinked to
lib would also hint at that, so initially there was, perhaps, only
packages being installed into /

We would have to ask eric, but i don't see any benefit at all for this
layout of the staging dir.

Folks that want to do away with /usr on their targets can easily symlink
/usr/* down to ../ if they feel like, but that proposed patch doesn't
touch the target layout much (IIRC).
