The .nfs* file is case of NFS silly rename, but I am not sure about why 
it happens here: did you check what 
/sbin/.nfs00000000003efaa000000995~~tmp~usrmerge~~ was?
Maybe there are possibile workarounds, but right now I do not have an 
environment to test this. Since convert-usrmerge can be run in a chroot 
on the NFS server maybe it would be easier to just make it fail if the 
root is NFS-mounted.

Did you try running /usr/lib/convert-usrmerge again?

It is expected to.
