Tag: unmerged-usr
Severity: classification
Check: files/hierarchy/merged-usr
Explanation: The named file is being installed in a legacy location.
Many competing distributions install this file under <code>/usr</code>.
Debian would like to do the same, but the best way to get there is
presently unclear.
.
Please coordinate with the release team before you change this path to
the new location. There is a growing body of evidence that uncoordinated
action by individual package maintainers or teams may not be the best
path forward.
.
Debian's Technical Committee voted on February 1, 2021 that the
<code>bookworm</code> release should support only the merged-usr root
filesystem layout, thus dropping support for the non-merged-usr layout.
