I think the best way to do this part of it is going to be to just follow the upstream packages. When they release a new version that installs in /usr, just allow that to happen. Eventually there will be very little in /{bin,sbin,lib}, maybe nothing besides a couple of symbolic links like /bin/sh. I am not for what fedora is doing with the /bin->/usr/bin, /sbin->/usr/sbin and /lib->/usr/lib symlinks.
