Package: usr-is-merged
Version: 39

When attempting to install, I received the following message:

******************************************************************************
*
* The usr-is-merged package cannot be installed because this system does
* not have a merged /usr.
*
* Please install the usrmerge package to convert this system to merged-/usr.
*
* For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge.
*
******************************************************************************

This despite the fact that I have version 39 of usrmerge installed, and the
symlinks were indeed set up correctly.

In the end, it turned out to be because /usr itself was a symlink, and
although this causes no issues for either the merging process or any
running software, since the check is using "readlink -f" it erroneously
fails.
