micro is a DISTRO which, among other things, folds /usr and / into a
single tree (i.e. $bindir == $base_bindir, etc.).  If you're using that
configuration then clearly /usr and / must, by definition, be on the
same filesystem and this is an example of a situation where we wouldn't
want to make copies.
