Top post: try installing usr-is-merged after changing sources.list before anything else. If that works and nobody else chimes in first I'll explain what is going on. (may or may not work, no time to check now) Tim.
To followup here: If the docker container already has merged usr (/bin is a symlink to /usr/bin etc) then usr-is-merged should install - it has no dependencies. if usr-is-merged is installed then the upgrade of base-files will not (I believe) pull in usrmerge and therefore you will not get the configure error. What I'm not sure about is whether the error you're seeing explicitly means that usr is not merged (in which case usr-is-merged will fail to install) or whether you get that error regardless. I don't have any systems with usrmerge installed so I cannot quickly check the scripts to see. Tim.
