See #768062, for instance. That doesn't match what I have seen while testing it, and what I see even now in a sid chroot where usr-is-merged is pre-installed: # dpkg -l | grep merge ii usr-is-merged 30+nmu1 all Transitional package to assert a merged-/usr system # apt upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be upgraded: init-system-helpers 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 49.8 kB of archives. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] apt does not attempt to install usrmerge. Can you provide a reproducer? -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
