From what I understand most upstreams and Guix has no problems with
merged /usr. It is an isolated Debian issue, right?

It seems to be around 40 packages according to Lorenzo, not too many. I
volunteer to adopt 5-10 of them. Just let me know.

Count me in! If we won't resist Debian brainless mergerd /usr, I'll
have no motivation to create a Devuan Port of GNU/Hurd.

Yes, please!

I recently moverd all my desktops and laptops to Devuan/Daedalus, and
would prefer to continue with Devuan!

Otherwise, I would switch to Guix if Devuan no longer is an
alternative. Never again adopt Debian/RedHat madness!
