I originally made the change[1] in response to Devuan #482[2]. Yes, the poster
was using lvm without an initrd. But it fixed his issue without causing any
regressions that I am aware of. Although I accept usrmerge is not the default on
Devuan.

It also mirrors the systemd setup which (still?) has libsystemd0 in /lib.

Is emptying /lib a target for bullseye?

Thanks
