Package: tech-ctte

I call for votes on the following resolution.
Voting lasts for one week or until the outcome is no longer in doubt.
Let me take this opportunity to thank Helmut for all his recent work on
this topic.

=== BEGIN

OPTION A:

Under Constitution 6.1.5, the Technical Committee recommends that the
maintainers of individual packages should not proactively move files
from the root filesystem to corresponding locations under /usr in the
data.tar.* of packages.  So, /foo/bar should not move to /usr/foo/bar.

Files that are in /usr in the Debian 12 release should remain in /usr,
while files that are in /bin, /lib* or /sbin in the Debian 12 release
should remain in those directories.  If any files are moved from /bin,
/lib* or /sbin into /usr after the Debian 12 release, they should be
moved back to their Debian 12 locations.

This moratorium lasts until we vote to repeal it.  We expect to do that
during the trixie development cycle, and sooner rather than later.
We will continue to facilitate efforts to resolve the remaining issues
that stand in the way of safely repealing the moratorium.

OPTION B:

As option A, except that only maintainers of essential and transitively
essential packages should refrain from proactively moving files from the
root filesystem to corresponding locations under /usr in the data.tar.*
of packages.

OPTION N:

None of the above.

=== END

I'd normally wait longer but officially the vote has concluded, with
option A winning, and I think we should get this out as soon as
possible.
