Package: usrmerge Version: 25 Severity: normal Tags: patch It should be possible to skip conversion on special-purpose systems such as buildds, even if thiss will result in an unsupported configuration past the release of Debian 12 "bookworm".
I've attached a patch that checks for the presence of a file named `/etc/usrmerge-unsupported-skip-usrmerge` to skip conversion. We could then add an option to debootstrap to create this on buildds (might need to be backported to bullseye). The patch also makes skipping the conversion an error. This should probably happen at some point (not neccessarily now). I think we also need to deal with #985957 and #1008202 before we can consider having some other package pull in usrmerge on all systems. Ansgar
