[systemd-devel] [PATCH] timedated: support split usr v2

[Shawn Paul Landden]

The current Debian solution to this is really ugly, and I would rather
have them use the correct patch even if split usr is dumb.

Read: http://rusty.ozlabs.org/?p=236
 ("Why Everyone Must Oppose The Merging of /usr and /")

(I managed to skip the pulseaudio implamentation mess because I
had a fancy emu10k1 SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 which does its own
hardware mixing.)

v2: forgot to commit my debugging results before submitting
