will block it proposed to ensure we can test any fallouts.

Title:
[MIR] usrmerge
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in usrmerge package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Availability]
In universe.
[Rationale]
Since Disco, Ubuntu has defaulted to merged usr systems, specifically
that /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib.
However, we have not yet completed this transition for systems that
were installed pre-disco.
This package performs such transition using maintainer scripts. It has
been tested and improved thoroughly and has managed to work with all
sorts of packages that happened to be installed on the system.
For systems that were installed post disco, this package is
effectively a no-op. Systems that use nfs mounting with split /usr
care must be taken to ensure that initrd mounts nfs-backed /usr. The
package aborts configuration if such rare configuration is detected to
avoid potentially bracking reboot.
For all other systems, we always provide a fallback initrd which has
been mounting both / and /usr whenever possible.
[Security]
The package ships two perl scripts, which are executed by root from
maintainer scripts.
[Quality assurance]
There is debconf question one can preseed to prevent the migration,
there is README.Debian explaining what it does and how. It is a one-
way / one-time migration, removing the package will not undo the
migration.
[Dependencies]
Perl, and many documented conflicts to ensure that usrmerge compatible
packages are on disk prior to migration.
[Standards compliance]
Adheres to Debian Policy.
[Maintenance]
Maintained in Debian, merged and supported by Foundations,
foundations-bugs is subscribed.
[Background information]
This will complete usrmerge migration, and will allow to switch
buildds to build packages with merged-usr by default.
