Hi,

I'm removing Guillem from CC. I don't think his input is relevant here and I am
quite certain that this topic just makes his day worse.

you have the following options to create a merged-/usr-via-symlinks chroot
using mmdebstrap:

 a) completely manually:

    --setup-hook='for d in bin sbin lib; do ln -s usr/$d "$1/$d"; mkdir -p 
"$1/usr/$d"; done'

 b) using the debootstrap method:

    --setup-hook=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/setup00-merged-usr.sh

    the path will change in the next upload and then the following will work:

    --setup-hook=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/merged-usr/setup00.sh

    or:

    --hook-dir=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/merged-usr

 c) using the usrmerge package:

    --include=usrmerge

The next upload of mmdebstrap will document all of this. I'm just waiting for
the resolution of #993946 before I do the next upload.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
