I assume your "WTH" was at a non-merged-/usr chroot having the usr-is-merged metapackage? As I pointed out when I was asked to review the debootstrap change[1], this is actually correct, but it's not at all obvious that it's correct. The usr-is-merged metapackage is arguably misnamed: its actual semantics are that the system is on the "new" side of the merged-/usr transition (either the /usr-like directories have been merged into /usr, or that merge has deliberately been avoided in a way that will become unsupported with the release of bookworm, either of which makes it unnecessary to install the usrmerge package and its non-trivial dependencies). But that's quite a lot to express in a package name, renaming it would require another trip through NEW, and in the only scenario that is intended to be supported beyond bookworm release day, its name is accurate; so its current name seems close enough to the truth. smcv [1] https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/merge_requests/71/#note_324399
