Hi,

it appears we have to tags which are basically about the same issue

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/aliased-location
Implemented by Helmut in 
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/524


and

https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames
Implemented by Josh in 
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/128


Imho we should consolidate those two tags as I find it confusing /
unnecessary to have two tags which appear to do mostly the same.

One noticeable difference is that aliased-location also flags aliased
locations, so it appears like a superset of
package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames.
With aliased locations I meant aliased directories.

package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames only flags files.
