Homepage: https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge
Description-en: Convert the system to the merged /usr directories scheme
This package will automatically convert the system to the merged
/usr directory scheme, in which the /{bin,sbin,lib}/ directories are
symlinked to their counterparts in /usr/.
.
There is no automatic method to restore the precedent configuration, so
there is no going back once this package has been installed.
