I would leave the /lib checks for things that can conceivably be used
without systemd as PID1. That would be only udev, libudev and
libsystemd (and maybe systemctl).

For the rest, I would add a reportbug snippet that would indicate
whether /usr is a separate mount, and whether initramfs-tools or
dracut is not new enough. Plus a NEWS.Debian entry, possibly.

And then proceed to close as notabug when late-mounted-/usr bugs are opened.

I don't think pretending to support something that we do not is good
for anybody.
