I think we have seen and still see with usrmerge how difficult and cumbersome the resolution of an initially as simple presented project turned out. I understand the answer of Scott directed in that way, at least this is a reservation of mine.
For the record, usrmerge became difficult and cumbersome because non-technical reasons prevented implementing the simple solution in dpkg.
To correct the record, no such "simple solution in dpkg" ever existed.This keeps getting asserted, yet I cannot find any patch being proposed in the Debian BTS or on the debian-dpkg mailing list.
