Dear Maintainer,
your package debianutils installs files into /bin and /sbin.
For the ongoing UsrMerge effort [1], these directories should become
"empty", IOW packages should not install files there, but instead into
/usr/bin and /usr/sbin.
I think debianutils could move these files now. I am guessing that argyll
would not see backports; if it did, please note that such changes must be
reverted for bookworm (or earlier).
Attached you will find a patch implementing this. Please apply it at
your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Chris
