That includes not only: I planned for everything that I could foresee. I did not think about the buildds issue, but this is hardly the first time that some complex software/process has bugs that nobody tought about until it was deployed. Actually I believe that the fact that this could be solved quickly and with a trivial change is a great argument in favour of the quality of my plan and work for switching to merged-/usr.

You should have asked for an explicit plan three years ago when I first announced that I was working on this. At this point you are just creating arbitrary requirements that would delay forever this change. The reality is that the usrmerge conversion program has been available for three years and all the conversion problems that were unconvered by users have been addressed. If you have further doubts about its general viability then it is up to you to report specific issues. -- ciao, Marco
