you rapidly overrule the debootstrap maintainers.
After we have ceased introducing new lossage we can have a proper
conversation about what the plan ought to be for buster and bullseye.
Well, please take into account that a version of debootstrap which
defaulted to merged /usr has been in Debian Testing (and thus, if I am
not mistaken, available through daily builds of the netinst CDs) since
June 25 or so. Five months. No matter what we decide finally, it is
necessary to support systems that were installed during that five-month
period.
In other words, it's already too late to "minimize" the damage by
undoing the change, and there is no point in acting quickly. At least in
my opinion.
