See #768062, for instance.
That doesn't match what I have seen while testing it, and what I see
even now in a sid chroot where usr-is-merged is pre-installed:

# apt upgrade

The following packages will be upgraded:
init-system-helpers
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 49.8 kB of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
