    Dear FTP team,

    with trixie finishing the usrmerge transition, it is important to
    not introduce regressions. It would seem easiest if dak could reject
    packages targetting trixie, forky or newer, which install files into
    /bin, /sbin, or /lib*.

    This is covered by the lintian tag
    "package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames". All packages in trixie
    are not hitting this tag.

    I hope (on the FTP team side) it would be enough to add the tag name
    to config/debian/lintian.tags, for which I've submitted a merge
    request at https://salsa.debian.org/ftp-team/dak/-/merge_requests/291

    If this won't work for some reason, I hope we can discuss another
    solution in this bug.

    Best,
    Chris
