+Description: dummy package created by mmdebstrap no-merged-usr setup hook
+ This package was generated and installed by the mmdebstrap no-merged-usr
+ setup hook at /usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/no-merged-usr.
+ .
+ If this package is installed in the final chroot, then this is a bug
+ in mmdebstrap. Please report: https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap
