Public bug reported:

ceph has been identified as having a possible issue related to usr-
merge. DEP-17 describes the issue and problems at length[0]. The check
done was not perfect, and may lead to false positives. The following was
the run to identify possible packages, further refined with slight
pruning of obvious false positives

apt-file search --package-only --regexp
'^/(sbin|bin|lib|lib32|lib64|libx32)/*'

Lintian, when run on a suitably new system (such as within a resolute
build environment), will provide some errors related to usr-merge. an
example of a Lintian error from busybox

E: busybox-static: aliased-location [bin/]
E: busybox-static: aliased-location [bin/static-sh]

Please evalute ceph for any issues dictated in dep17
