I assume that you are following a plan developed by Helmut et al, as part of the overall Debian usrmerge mitigation plan. I don't think I agree with this change, as provided, because it will cause ed to move to /usr/bin on downstreams that don't do usrmerge. And then, without changing the diversion, the package is actually broken. I think there could be an affordance in dh_auto_configure that allows this all to work properly. I assume there is some reason why we aren't, in Debian, changing dh_auto_configure to interpret --bindir=/bin as --bindir=/usr/bin. > If during the trixie cycle your package will undergo structural > changes or any other file moves, please also see the wiki and upload > to experimental first when these changes are done. I don't believe this is planned, but, once again, I am not the maintainer. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he.
