Note that you don't have to symlink the whole /usr directory. You
could leave the critical files for boot in the on-board /usr and then
individually link other apps into the directory. Or you can use your
path to search for apps in more than one place, etc.

Maybe future secondary apps could be built to install into /opt
instead of /usr and then /opt get added to the search path. That would
make it much easier to get the apps onto the mmc card. You would
symlink /opt to the mmc card and then install the app.
