University of Toronto ☛ Backward compatibility, even for settings, has real costs
If you promise backward compatibility for settings, you must devote (programming) effort to mapping old settings to the new behavior and perhaps the new settings. Where there's no exact equivalent of the old setting's behavior, you may have to add code or additional (new) settings to synthesize that behavior, or materialize it if someone ever asks for it. Or you can only imitate the old setting value imperfectly, but then (some) people will complain. All of this takes work, especially if the setting is controlling some old behavior and old code that you're trying to move away from.

updating old chroot in sbuild that predates usrmerge.

There was a file /etc/unsupported-skip-usrmerge-conversion that usrmerge package errored out on; it seemed like it means
a mark of not doing usrmerge conversion, because sbuild is a system for autobuilding and staying in split /usr for the duration of the release might be better.
