With rootprefix == prefix == /usr, everything is in /usr, also the
kernel package is changed to install the stuff in /usr, and no longer
in /lib.
None of the original system root directories /bin, /sbin, /lib, /lib64
are real directories anymore. Even when both locations will work the
same way with the merged filesystem layout, the historic root
locations should not be the default in stuff that is explicitly
configured for the unified filesystem layout.
I'll change the help text.
