Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.83 As mentioned earlier, I would like to see --merged-usr enabled by default for Debian Stretch. The last discussion on -devel@[1] was quite positive; I had some additional positive feedback on IRC.
I'm not aware of any regressions so far, except for having forgotten to add "jessie-kfreebsd" to the blacklist (a list of older releases that don't support merged-/usr) and debootstrap 1.0.83 failing to bootstrap squeeze[2]. Both are fixed in my changes targeted at 1.0.84[3]. So I would like to switch the default in debootstrap sooner rather than later to give time to find some more bugs. With this change, the currently known bugs[4] should also be raised to "serious", but I don't think any of them should be a blocker.
