I think it should be a link to ., and the standard is wrong.  But then, I
think that all sort of links should be relative which arent, maybe I am just
weird.

Anyway, /usr must be a link to ., not /, for the cross installation
process to work, and it is also the right thing if you frequently work with
several filesystem images etc, as I do.

Thanks,
