Package: src:linux
Version: 6.11.2-1
Severity: normal
New versions of kernel packages (I looked at linux-image-6.11.2-arm64-unsigned , but I don't imagine it's limited to that one) put kernel modules in /usr/lib/modules/ , which works if /lib is a symlink to
/usr/lib/ , but it probably doesn't work so well if it isn't?
base-files version 13.2 and earlier don't have that /lib symlink set up.

Debian only supports the merged-/usr layout since the latest release.
See the release notes:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#a-merged-usr-is-now-required
Please install "usrmerge" first to get your system into a supported
state. Maybe you could try to find out, why this did not happen as
dependency.
Closing, as your system is not in a supported state, so this is no bug.
