It's a bit odd to locate a database under /usr that isn't pre-built and
installed. I guess in theory there could be systems with a read-only
/usr out there that still allow installation of packages into /opt.
Does it really help to improve the snapshot situation? What about
software under /opt? Maybe this needs multiple RPM databases
eventually, roughly aligned along file system boundaries.
Thanks,
Florian
