The autoremover will establish the urgency of this matter to the non-key packages. Please NMU the others such that we're done before the transition freeze. Helmut

Bug#1063571: libpcre3: move libraries to /usr (DEP17)
Package: libpcre3 Version: 2:8.39-15 Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: dep17m2 Hi, we want to finalize the /usr-merge transition by moving all aliased files from / to /usr via DEP17 to avoid any negative effects arising from aliasing. libpcre3 is involved, because installs a shared library below /lib. I'm sending a patch, because it cannot be automatically converted using dh-sequence-movetousr. Note that this patch must not be uploaded to bookworm-backports or earlier as it would violate the earlier file move moratorium there.
