The change you are objecting to was planned and presented to various
teams in Debian including the technical committee and the release team.
The change is implementing a technical committee decision and has been
agreed to by the technical committee and the release team. You should be
able to find the rationale in the relevant technical committee bug
reports. If you want to change this, please file your objection with the
technical committee or start a GR instead of reopening this bug over and
over again.

As others have pointed out, this is breaking on your side, because
usrmerge is somehow prevented from being installable. Please figure out
why that happens. I suppose the most likely cause would be use of
dpkg-fsys-usrunmess. Refer to the new faq entry at
https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge on how to revert that.
