Dear Maintainer,
your package installs the file /lib/udev/rules.d/90-pipewire-alsa.rules.
For the ongoing UsrMerge effort [1], /lib needs to become "empty", IOW no
package should install a file there. Instead, files should be installed
into /usr/lib.
Apparently the path in /lib is hard-coded, either in the upstream build
system or the packaging.
Please change your package to install into /usr/lib/udev/rules.d at your
earliest convenience. Per the wiki, it is useful to first upload to
experimental and wait a few days for the dumat tool to evaluate the
change, and only then upload to unstable.
At a later point during the trixie cycle, I expect this bug will become
release-critical.
Thanks for considering,
Chris
