sharing /usr lan wide in the good old debian style anymore.

..might be easier to pick e.g. Slackware or Gentoo
to fill in the gaps left by Debian.

..I prefer you don't waste your time and energy on such usr-merge
folly, even tracking that mess to keep Devuan untangled from that
mess is a better use of your time and energy not only helps us at
Devuan, it also helps e.g. Slackware, and it helps good Debian
people flee Debian for better alternatives like e.g. Devuan.
