Unfortunately the name "unmerged-bin" makes users think this has something to do with usrmerge. It does not, but is rather about a suggestion from systemd upstream that /sbin and /bin be merged.
There are more details at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1085370
but the short version is that this "taint" should be ignored in Debian
as having separate /bin and /sbin is not a bug [1].
[1]: In fact such a configuration could reasonably be considered
unsupported based on FHS, and on the face we do have some collisions
that would turn into file conflicts. Of course all of that is subject
to change in the future.
