I do not have access to an Ubuntu system or chroot. I was hoping if someone could tell me if the Ubuntu wiki is accurate in saying:
For Quantal, merged /usr should be supported. On new systems installer should create {/bin, /lib, /sbin} symlinks into /usr.

No.
You are looking at a proposal. Besides that: we follow Debian and unless they do not set this up we probably will not.

The link from Terrance is a little bit invalid: Fedora did this from release 17 (= 2012). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove on this. But Debian, Ubuntu never went for this setup.
