I did not do that.  And I stated very clearly that I didn't.

You asked, and I replied:

stop twisting my words to avoid fixing your bug.

I said that I probably *would* (note: future tense, an indication of intent)
do something to block usrmerge on my systems somehow.

And I also said that it wasn't necessary to do so because your package was
broken.

I then gave another example of the problem occuring on a minimalist standard
sid VM.



Stop closing this bug without fixing it.

It is breaking upgrades and dist-upgrades etc.
