  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Add /etc/lsb-release file.
    - /etc/issue{,.net}, /etc/{lsb,os}-release: Welcome to ATTRIBUTE ANIMAL!
    - Install locale-check command to /usr/bin and invoke it from

Title:
  Clean up the DEP17 dpkg diversions

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  For the DEP17 effort, we've introduced a number of dpkg diversions of
  the form $foo -> $foo.usr-is-merged, ahead of Debian. They've done
  since their own transition, and the diversions they added are much
  less numerous and much more discreet (only for "multiarch" dirs such
  as /lib64 and /lib32, and using /.$foo.usr-is-merged which is way less
  invasive).

  When merging glibc and base-files, where those diversions are added in
  the preinsts, we should take care of cleaning up our old diversions as
  well as whatever still clutter the filesystem.
