Hi Lee, there seems to be some confusion (also from my end) -- read further below.

I am as well. As far as I can see, I have the same package versions installed for sbuild and debootstrap as you do. $ apt-cache policy sbuild debootstrap sbuild: Installed: 0.85.0 [...] debootstrap: Installed: 1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u1 But I am unable to reproduce this. It seems that debootstrap should indeed respect the --merged-usr flag even when building bookworm buildd chroots. I'm running this and I fail to reproduce your issue: $ sudo sbuild-createchroot --merged-usr bookworm tmp/debian-bookworm [...] $ ls -lha ~/tmp/debian-bookworm total 144K drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:40 . drwxrwxrwt 156 josch josch 72K Aug 29 14:37 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 29 14:39 bin -> usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Mar 29 18:20 boot drwxrws--- 2 sbuild sbuild 4.0K Aug 29 14:40 build drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 dev drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:40 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Mar 29 18:20 home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 29 14:39 lib -> usr/lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 media drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 opt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Mar 29 18:20 proc drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 root drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 29 14:39 sbin -> usr/sbin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 srv drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Mar 29 18:20 sys drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:40 tmp drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 usr drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4.0K Aug 29 14:39 var This seems to be the intended behaviour. Can you try again? Thanks! cheers, josch
