To be completely clear about the decision that Ian asked the technical
committee to overrule:
In all debootstrap versions since 1.0.102, merged /usr is the default (for
all variants except --variant=buildd). This means that new installations
of Debian buster using debian-installer will have merged /usr.
Do the debian-installer and debootstrap maintainers think this should
continue to be true for the buster release?
(Sorry, I should have made this the only question in a message, and not
mentioned side issues in the same message.)
Thanks,
