--- Begin Message ---Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.128+nmu2 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear maintainer: Because Debian has decided that bookworm will have usr-merge by default even for building packages, I would expect usr-merge to be enabled by default in all cases, including when using the buildd profile. Currently, such thing does not happen. I think the attached patch would fix this (but I've not tested it). A better approach would be to select --usr-merge in the buildd profile when appropriate (i.e. bookworm and above). (How feasible would this be?) I am aware that the proposed patch (but not the "better approach") may force some people to do some things differently. However, let's compare the two scenarios: A) If the patch is applied, then once that bookworm becomes stable: - Those who want to build packages for stable the official way do not have to do anything special. I think this is the category of users that should be better supported. - Those still running bullseye who want to build packages for bullseye (using debootstrap from bullseye) do not have to do anything special. - Only people who want to build packages for bullseye from bookworm would have to add --no-usr-merge by hand, and only when using the buildd profile. I think this is a special case and having to add an option by hand for such special case would not be a big deal. B) If the patch is not applied, then once that bookworm becomes stable: - Those who want to build packages for stable the official way should add --usr-merge by hand when calling debootstrap. This option is *undocumented* in "debootstrap --help" (!). Also, failure to add the --usr-merge option may result in packages being misbuilt, or even failing to build at all. And this would happen when building packages from stable to be installed in a stable system. - Those still running bullseye who want to build packages for bullseye (using debootstrap from bullseye) do not have to do anything special. - Those who want to build packages for bullseye from bookworm would not have to do anything special. In summary: I think A is better default than B for bookworm, and I believe it would be ok to change debootstrap default behaviour before the release. In either case, if debootstrap behaviour is not going to change for bookworm, then option --usr-merge should be much better documented, both in --help output and maybe in Release Notes.
