There is no requirement to match one of the /etc/shells pathnames.

I have hopefully good news for you! You can set the SHELL variable yourself to your preferred value. For example:

export SHELL=/home/user/.bin/the-best-shell-of-all

(The details might vary depending on the shell you are currently in.) usrmerge does not affect this at all.
