    Dear Release Team,

    I've opened #1109529 for ftpteam to reject packages from NEW
    installing outside of the usrmerge paths. Niels suggested that this
    is not enough, and gating should also be done before allowing
    packages into testing.

    One option would be for britney to check the lintian tag package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames. The tag is available in
    trixie's lintian.

    I'm not sure which support for running lintian or using lintian data
    from UDD you already have.

    Maybe we need to have a discussion here.

    Thanks,
    Chris
