I have no idea what your problem can be. But as a friendly reminder, your
setup ("/usr under / and no initrd") hasn't been supported since at least a
year and a half. From [1]:

"""
If you have / and /usr on separate file systems and you are not
currently using an initramfs, you must set one up before this date.
Otherwise, at some point on or after this date, upgrading packages
will make your system unbootable.
"""

It is of course possible that your problem has nothing to do with not using
an initramfs. Then again, *IT IS* also possible that you NEED an initramfs,
and that's one of the many reasons the council decided to stop supporting
such a configuration.

Regards.
