Hi!

I just upgrade to runit 2.1.2-54+usrmerge on Devuan Ceres and it gave me 
the following output:

Vorbereitung zum Entpacken von .../20-runit_2.1.2-54+usrmerge_amd64.deb 
...
   === WARNING ===   
unmerged system detected via /sbin
warning: unmerged systems will fail to boot very soon
due to /[s]bin/ directories becoming empty!!
please merge this system as soon as possible
for details refer to DEP17 (M2) documentation
https://subdivi.de/~helmut/dep17.html
runit: switching /etc/service to current... done


The link goes to a quite complex document with lots of technical details, 
so just asking here:

Do I need to merge usr on my Devuan Ceres systems in order to prevent boot 
them failing *very soon*. Or is that hint only aimed at Debian users?

I do not really like how merging usr is done in Debian by sym-linking 
directories¹, but if its needed, I will do it, cause I like my Devuan 
Ceres systems continue to boot.

At least I can still run runit instead of systemd.
