Tom Gundersen 12b42c7667 man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setups
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.

 * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
   search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
   path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
   worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
   could ship this.

 * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
   on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
   man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
   we could ship with this patch.

 * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
   to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
   adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
   probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> is a
service that is invoked as part of the first boot after the vendor
operating system resources in <filename>/usr</filename> have been
updated. This is useful to implement offline updates of
<filename>/usr</filename> which might requires updates to
<filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>/var</filename> on the
following boot.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> updates the
file modification time (mtime) of the stamp files
<filename>/etc/.updated</filename> and
<filename>/var/.updated</filename> to the modification time of the
<filename>/usr</filename> directory, unless the stamp files are
already newer.</para>
<para>Services that shall run after offline upgrades of
<filename>/usr</filename> should order themselves before
<filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>, and use the
<varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
condition to make sure to run when <filename>/etc</filename> or
<filename>/var</filename> are older than <filename>/usr</filename>
according to the modification times of the files described above.
This requires that updates to <filename>/usr</filename> are always
followed by an update of the modification time of
<filename>/usr</filename>, for example by invoking
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>touch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
on it.</para>
