Hello, Afaiui, the symlink farm would just work from dpkg's point of view, even with dpkg from oldoldoldoldstable. It can handle symlinks to files just fine. usrmerge is conceptually a lot harder because dpkg needs to get to handle the fact that /bin/foo and /usr/bin/foo conflict. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
