It seems that

  1. some systems have a symlinks like this

     /bin -> usr/bin
 /lib -> usr/lib
 /sbin -> usr/sbin

  2. Some systems have single file-symlinks of executables in these directories like this:

    /bin/some_exe -> usr/bin/some_exe

    (this is what usrmerge seems to accomplish as well)

  3. And some systems have some symlinks and some executables (including duplicates).

Questions

  1. Which state is the one that's meant to be?
  2. How do I get into the state that's meant to be from the other states?

The eventual state is/will be 1. The three dirs symlinked to their /usr counterpart. Maybe sbin will be lumped in with bin as well. The only systems I have encountered where the executables are individually linked are BusyBox systems.
