Where is that obviousness documented? I find that highly counter-intutive.

Do note that I didn't intentionally install usr-is-merged, this is a
minimal build chroot we're talking about after all. It got pulled in by
something:

    $ apt-cache rdepends usr-is-merged
    usr-is-merged
    Reverse Depends:
      dbus
      init-system-helpers
        usrmerge

I have dbus=1.14.10-1 and init-system-helpers=1.65.2.

I can't say I entirely understand the purpose of usr-is-merged other than
to brick systems with unattended upgrades. Could you explain?

Thanks,
--Daniel
