I have not been involved in this project so I don't know its history but #843073 is not 8 months old and I only discovered the problem when I read about in on debian-devel and yet I have followed former discussions on debian-devel about merged-/usr. I can understand that this project was of no interest to you and that while you were aware of the problem for 8 months, you did not want to fix it by yourself. But then I'm also sympathetic to people who want to get their project moving forward and I'm always happy to assist them when it touches code that I wrote in dpkg. Feel free to direct such people towards me when you are not interested yourself. In this specific case, the merged-/usr was mostly done and ready before the freeze but then this problem (which was possibly underrated by Marco or whoever else was aware of it) came into light. I would not like that we end up with this feature reverted at freeze time because you did not find the time to merge the patch. Hence my query.
