This will be a practical problem as soon as Debian starts using merged-/usr on official buildds, and the Debian technical committee resolution https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=994388#110 recommends treating this class of bug as release-critical for Debian 12, so I'm raising the severity of this bug. Please upload a fixed package before the Debian 12 freeze. I provided a patch last year, which I hope is suitable. Thanks, smcv
