I wasn’t aware that you have been filing bugs related to the transition. What criteria are you using to find and file those bugs? If you have time to put into actively *looking* for bugs *other than* the one identified by Simon, that would be hugely helpful and I think a good way to go about it would be to write a fuzzer for package upgrades — try to generate the weirdest possible scenarios of packages splitting, recombining, replacing each other, conflicting with each other, transferring files among each other, diverting each other’s files, etc. etc. Using that, see if you can come up with concrete reproducers for all the data loss scenarios listed by Guillem at <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/MergedUsr>, or for *other* data loss scenarios, hitherto unsuspected by anyone. zw
