I tested the procedure on Debian unstable (Sid) and I can reproduce the
bug. I am still not able to build the package this way:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/fs/usr/ ; touch /tmp/fs/usr/testfile
$ checkinstall --fstrans=yes --install=no --nodoc --pkgversion=1
--pkgname=test cp -r /tmp/fs/* /
.....
cp: cannot create directory '/usr': File exists
**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.
However the procedure works fine on Debian 11 Bullseye
