That wasn't a "Yes/No" question! ;)

Ok, so just drop the /usr check completely - will do.

So far, I have only seen sources claiming that /var requires $local_fs.
Notably, the (possibly dated) wiki page
https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts says $local_fs as well and I got
no reference/recent mail debate in the back of my head to claim
otherwise (unlike /usr, which I can remember seeing some debate about on
debian-devel).
I will leave /var for now as it is. Feel free to bring up /var
requiring $remote_fs once stretch released. I will be happy to
implement it given a consensus on debian-devel.
Thanks,
