Package: usrmerge
Version: 30+nmu1
Severity: serious
Justification: essential packages should not fail to install
Control: affects -1 + src:mmdebstrap

If you happen to be on an overlayfs filesystem (doesn't have to be /)
and then install usrmerge into a chroot on that filesystem (for instance
by doing using mmdebstrap), then usrmerge.postinst fails due to the
check for overlayfs. In this case, conversion is actually desired and
would actually work on overlayfs (since all the files reside on the
upper layer exclusively). usrmerge really shouldn't fail in this
situation.

This is not limited to mmdebstrap. If I happen to create a bullseye
chroot (entirely inside the overlayfs) and then upgrade it to bookworm,
usrmerge will be pulled and fails in the same way.

I recommend turning the check around. First actually attempt to perform
the conversion. If that happens to fails, check for overlayfs and
conditionally emit the helpful message. That way, conversion actually is
performed when it can be performed. When it cannot be performed, we
cannot do anything about it anyway.
