Bug#810301: technical reason for "merged /usr support" in debootstrap



Quoting Geert Stappers (stappers@stappers.nl):

There's a lengthy discussion in -devel and this issue about merged
/usr is something I see floting around for years. 

Random picks in the said discussion seem to show a quite good agreement.

For me, confidence in the respect of processes and other's opinion as
well as care to consider all possible aspects of difficult ttechnical
decisions is something I should grant to someone I've seen doing such
things in the project for years, even before I joined the project
myself...and including some technically difficult changes that may
impact the entire system.

So, yes, this is personal and I fully assume giving more credit to
Md's proposal and the way to push it than Joe Random Developer. That
has often be my way to work in the project and, surprisingly it works
faily well...particularly when dealing with issues I don't fully
understand (or, in this case, issues I have no enough free time to try
understanding).
