Lintian tag: package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames

Type: classification

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package installs the listed file to a directory in / (the filesystem
root) rather than to the corresponding directory inside /usr.

Debian requires systems to mount /usr prior to invoking init (using an
initramfs if necessary) so any executables, libraries, or other files
placed in / for use by early portions of the system init no longer need to
do so.

Moving a file from / to /usr (especially an executable in /bin or /sbin)
will often require a compatibility symlink to the new location, as other
software may invoke it by absolute path.

A compatibility symlink to the corresponding file in /usr will not trigger
this warning but a symlink to anywhere else will.
