Hi Bastian,
Thank you for telling me about Debian's package
named "usrmerge".
You very nicely asked me to verify that "usrmerge"
is installed properly.
dpkg says it is now installed:
$ dpkg -l usrmerge
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ii usrmerge 39 all Convert the system to the
merged /usr directories scheme
You also asked me to verify that /bin, /lib, /sbin
are symlinks to /usr/*.
The
"$ ls -l"
command says 3 of mine are linked to "usr/*."
So,
Kingsley
PS: usrmerge was hard to install.
I seem to have installed it with *something like*...
$ dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/usrmerge_39_all.deb
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of usrmerge:
usrmerge depends on perl:any; however:
