Somewhat.
You've provided an example of what I consider broken packaging and an
example of a case why Fedora doesn't work without /usr/ being mounted:
Presuming /sbin/lspci is supposed to work without having /usr/ mounted,
then libpci.so.X needs to reside in /lib|/lib64.
Or differently: Everything in /bin and /sbin, must only be dynamically
linked against libraries in /lib|/lib64. The fact lspci is linked
against /usr/{lib|lib64}/libpci.so.X is a defect.
