Currently, merge-usr --dryrun checks for conflicting files for the following combinations:

/bin vs /usr/bin
/sbin vs /usr/bin
/usr/sbin vs /usr/bin

It should probably be enhanced to also check the following:

/bin vs /sbin
/bin vs /usr/sbin
/sbin vs /usr/sbin

Yep, hit this today.  --dryrun was clean, actual run:

INFO: Migrating files from '/usr/sbin' to '/usr/bin'
ERROR: Conflict for file '/usr/sbin/installkernel': [Errno 17] File exists: '/usr/bin/installkernel'
ERROR: Leaving '/usr/sbin' as a directory due to prior errors

Out of curiosity, how did you end up with multiple instances of installkernel?

Old hack to stub it out in my dev container.
