Not at all. The path must remain unchanged, because it is API and we do not break API. > I reported the bug 2052295 in Ubuntu [1]. I made a patch for it which was > already applied in Ubuntu.

If you then use mmdebstrap for creating noble chroots, you end up with unmerged ones. That's very bad, but it's an infrastructure failure on the Ubuntu side. I recommend that you urgently revert your change on Ubuntu as well. Helmut
