[Bug 1629552] Re: files with the same name installed in / and /usr

[Martin Pitt]

json-c: libjson-c3 ships ./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjson-c.so.3, and
libjson-c-dev ships

lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2016-04-27 12:15 ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjson-c.so.3 -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjson-c.so.3
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2016-04-27 12:15 ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjson-c.so -> libjson-c.so.3

which is completely redundant.

Bug description:
  A few remaining packages in Ubuntu are incompatible with a merged /usr
  because they ship the same file in /bin and /usr/bin; it looks like
  Debian will soon default to that, and we surely want to follow suit.

  The duplicate file/symlink needs to be removed, or created in
  postinst.

  cgroup-lite:

  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2016-03-02 07:56 ./usr/bin/cgroups-umount -> /bin/cgroups-umount
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2016-03-02 07:56 ./usr/bin/cgroups-mount -> /bin/cgroups-mount
