Hello,

Reopening this bug due to a deliberate attempt to fool the users: Either you move binaries _and_ configuration files 
to /usr/bin or explicitely depend on usrmerge. And closing this bug as wontfix is not nice.

I've modified netcat-traditional.postinst on both usrmerged and non-usrmerged systems without problems. So your second comment b) in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1056980#15
is definitely false:

From: Chris Hofstaedtler <[zeha@debian.org](mailto:zeha@debian.org)>  
...
No, changing the update-alternatives call is  
a) not necessary on /usr-merged systems,  
b) will break on these.

No the system did not break!

Yes, I have read [https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge](https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge)  

And found:  
! Please suspend further moves temporarily. The effects of moves cause more problems than anticipated 
people are working to understand and solve them. Exceptions: Continue to perform moves that fix RC bugs
(e.g. dh_installsystemd or systemd.pc issues) and DEP17P7 mitigations for udev rules.

And:
Do not update calls to update-alternatives:
- Even if you move e.g. /bin/more to /usr/bin/more, do not change the location used in the 
  update-alternatives invocation.
- If you add new alternatives, install them to /usr if possible. 

And:
P4: Even when changing all aliased paths from / to /usr, you must not change the paths passed to update-alternatives
invocations that already existed in bookworm. The current plan is to keep existing alternatives aliased as a legacy
forever and add new alternatives without aliasing. 

Who wrote this? The question is why?? All changes to packages moving files to /usr should also move _all_ 
corresponding configuration files to, or add an explicit dependency on usrmerge!

Thanks!
