NIce idea, using dummy-filesystems to get filesystems in the right position!

But my fear is that the usage of dummy-filesystem like system/usr and
system/var will confuse some users.

If someone starts to mess around in /var/db or some other subdirectory
in /usr or /var and thinks he is safe by taking a snapshot of /var or
/usr before, just to find out those snapshots didn't include stuff he
messed around with.

Greetings,
Philipp
