base-files (13devuan2) experimental; urgency=medium

    Debian has implemented merged /usr using symlinked aliases. Their
    intention is to move almost all package files to /usr. Devuan does not
    have the resources to resist this change. Therefore, reluctantly, this
    version of base-files will install usrmerge and convert your
    installation. If you do not want that, abort the installation now and
    change to Devuan's daedalus release which does not require merged
    /usr.
