user helm...@debian.org usertags -1 + dep17p6 thanks Thanks to Timothy for handling all of this. He also filed a MR https://salsa.debian.org/debian/openrc/-/merge_requests/2 to incorporate the necessary change into the Debian package.
This bug will become release-critical once openrc moves its files from / to /usr. Other than that, there is no particular urgency with applying the change, because no other packages interact with the relevant directory. Helmut
