    initial v1  
    665. From comment:16:ticket:22088, "I thought usrmerge was mandatory. See ​https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge ." The followup in comment:17:ticket:22088 said "Only new installations use usrmerge by default, upgraded systems need to explicitly install the usrmerge package if they want to adopt Merged /usr." along with a comment about the `dpkg` maintainer being resistant to change.
    776. Looking at popcon statistics for [https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=josm JOSM] and [https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=usrmerge usrmerge], it looks like 1 in 7 users might be affected. But then looking at the debian [https://packages.debian.org/stable/josm package] page for JOSM, only bullseye-backports, bookworm, and sid have recent versions of JOSM available. From the usrmerge page, `debootstrap` has defaulted to usrmerge since 1.0.102. Which was in [https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#merged-usr buster] (2019-07-06). This removed the need for new installs to add `usrmerge`.
