Hi,

> Is it prepared for the package "usrmerge"

Not at all, and I don't plan to dig into the "cruft" engine to make it happen.

I liked the idea behind cruft, that each file of a filesystem should
be accounted
to some package; but definitively not the original engine.

That's why I wrote cruft-ng, give it a try.
This one is UsrMerge compatible.

Is a "Breaks: cruft" in usrmerge package enough to please you ?

It is lowest hanging fruit; there's certainly still much to do.
Still hoping that one day much of "cruft" functionality
would be merged into packages&dpkg.

The cruft-common package shared accros cruft & cruft-ng with the
definitions wil remain.

Sorry but not all of this has been re-implemented yet in cruft-ng;
but the defaults are better (always ignore /sys /root /home /tmp)
and most are inherited from "mlocate" database.

One could remove the "cruft" binary package and I wouldn't be the one
to complain;
as long a "cruft-common" is still built.

I need more feedback.
