With similar caveats as have been raised by others regarding what merged-usr
means. It should mean the same that was described in the previous
resolution[1]. In other words, by symlinking `/{bin,sbin,lib*}/` to
`/usr/{bin,sbin,lib*}/`.
On top of this, the fact that we are not mandating a particular implementation
also means that we are not mandating any particular migration path. The
migration chosen by those doing the implementation might not be finished by the
time of the bookworm release. We are not mandating that it should be, only that
the previous format does not need to be supported anymore.
