Title:
  friendly-recovery spews noise about missing commands when /usr is a
  separate partition

Status in “friendly-recovery” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  when using friendly-recovery on my system with a detached /usr
  partition, friendly-recovery successfully launches sulogin due to the
  absence of whiptail; but before it does so, it spews out a lot of
  errors about missing commands because expr, printf, gettext.sh,
  basename, and others are located in /usr/bin.

  Perhaps this script should short-circuit at the top if /usr/bin is
  absent, and just invoke sulogin directly at that point.
