Please don't be so literate, we already looped twice around the world
explaining this. If you read it letter by letter and ignore FHS'
intentions you may indeed logically conclude that /usr would be an
empty filesystem, but try reading the full context.

The bottom line is: Don't %config/%config(noreplace) files under /usr.
