Hello Laurent,

Correct. While I have a fairly firm position that having a spearate
/usr without an initrd is not a supported configuration, we did get
angry bug reports about that case and thus added a check that
systemd's executable only link to libraries in /lib.

We could relax that check to not apply to networkd, or move libidn to
/lib. Best solution would of course to finally do the /usr merge :-)
But as long as that still isn't decided, I'd rather move the library
to avoid trouble.

Martin
