FWIW I tried implementing that in https://salsa.debian.org/md/usrmerge/tree/initramfs, but it does not work because I was not able to open an interactive shell from the initramfs script. Some help from people familiar with initramfs-tools would be appreciated.
BTW, that branch also contains a simple script which can be used to run the current system in KVM with a throwaway snapshot, to be able to try usrmerge with no consequences. > This remains true even if the usrmerge package is subsequently removed, > if it was ever installed. The symlinks /bin, /sbin, /lib* remain present, A clarification: usrmerge is supposed to be removed after the conversion. -- ciao, Marco
