I was aware of the risks.

The reason why I did it was because I have a custom kernel without 
initrd and / and /usr are on a different disk partitions. Since systemd 
needs libs in /usr/lib the system didn't boot. So I've copied the 
necessary libs from /usr to /lib.

As a side, I think having systemd depend on libraries deployed in /usr 
is a bad idea. More generally, using tools (e.g. /usr/bin/find) in the 
pre-mount phase of the boot process that either are deployed in /usr or 
depend on libs in /usr is, in my opinion, a bad idea.
