Re: tech-ctte: More specific advice regarding merged-/usr and implications of #978636



Hi tech-ctte

I just remembered a pending MR that I'd say is a little more important than
"good to have":

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debianutils/-/merge_requests/21

Without this one-line change, /etc/shells on merged-/usr systems will have some
shells listed twice and some shells (like /usr/bin/bash) missing. The reason
is, that dpkg-realpath doesn't support merged-/usr and thus a workaround is
needed.

Given the recent CTTE ruling over debianutils (#994275) and since the MR from
five months ago has no maintainer activity, I wanted to ask you for informal
advice on this. Should I just file a bug and NMU with maximum delay? Or is
application of this fix deemed more important?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
