To clarify due to misunderstanding that seem to have happened:

- Merged-/usr is planned to become the only supported layout for Debian
in the future, cf. [1].

- Most Debian derivates will probably follow, some have already done so
before Debian itself. So showing this warning in Debian derivates by
default seems not a good solution; if a derivative wants this warning,
they can patch it back in.
