In our case yes that's exactly what I'm doing. Our builds are done
inside a chroot so it's just easier if everything is in /bin & /usr/bin
(our build system hard-codes a few assumptions that it probably shouldn't).
One problem I have noted with the resultant .debs is that some of the
extra files (e.g in /usr/share) will clash. I don't think we need most
of them so I probably will just end up moving or removing them.
