This is a result of the way we choose to finalize the /usr-merge transition and the only way to not have such warnings would have been to spread the transition to forky. Consensus has been to accept the warnings in favour of finishing sooner rather than later. That said, I see how these warnings cause confusion. We should document them in the release-notes as being specifically expected in a bookworm to trixie upgrade, but not beyond. Helmut
