Since my upgrade from Debian to Ubuntu in about 2008, I never had ubuntu-minimal installed on my system, nor pulled in by some LTS-to-LTS upgrade.
As we see, Debian has fixed their https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992649, because usrmerge was not a mandatory package at the time of the fix. Else they would say, "just install usrmerge and you will have everything fixed"
They make it mandatory in Debian Testing only on Sep 17th 2022, that is, after Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release (https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge).
And they did so by making init-system-helpers dependent on usrmerge (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2022/09/msg00001.html).
Should this move be copied by Ubuntu in their Jammy LTS release ?
