Don't see why ? 
ll /
lib -> usr/lib
lib64 -> usr/lib64
sbin -> usr/sbin
bin -> usr/bin

What is the difference of /lib and /usr/lib ? 

What I see in Debian is a big confusion for example, with perl:  
they have 
/usr/lib/perl/
/usr/lib/perl5/
/usr/lib/perl5/auto
/usr/share/perl/
/usr/share/perl5/

And I have some modules in double and in different versions, which is a
mess. If you have just one directory you avoid double version of same
software.
