Public bug reported:

xe-guest-utilities has been identified as having a possible issue
related to usr-merge. DEP-17 describes the issue and problems at
length[0]. The check done was not perfect, and may lead to false
positives. The following was the run to identify possible packages,
further refined with slight pruning of obvious false positives

apt-file search --package-only --regexp
'^/(sbin|bin|lib|lib32|lib64|libx32)/*'

Lintian, when run on a suitably new system (such as within a resolute
build environment), will provide some errors related to usr-merge. an
example of a Lintian error from busybox

E: busybox-static: aliased-location [bin/]
E: busybox-static: aliased-location [bin/static-sh]

Please evalute xe-guest-utilities for any issues dictated in dep17
