 At this point, the two variants have to be supported, at least as installation targets of Debian packages.
 
 Two initiatives are worth mentioning at this point:
-* [a patch][https://lists.debian.org/20181202212535.GC11687@gaara.hadrons.org] has been proposed for dpkg-buildpackage to mark packages built on "merged `/usr`" hosts with a `Build-Tainted-By: merged-usr-via-symlinks`;
-* the reproducible builds team has added a "merged `/usr`" variation to their setup, and have then [tagged][https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/issues/unstable/paths_vary_due_to_usrmerge_issue.html] the Debian packages from unstable which had differences due to "merged `/usr`". It seems that ~61 packages were affected by differing builds; 32 from these have been fixed in unstable already.

 ## The long-term desireable situation
 
 Various valid long-term desireable situations coexist, and while discussing immediate countermeasures, it is useful to keep the long-term outcome that those are most likely to produce.

-* `none`: "merged `/usr`" has been happened
+* `none`: "merged `/usr`" has been reverted
 * `weak`: both directory schemes are allowed, packages only built on classical hosts

 * `full`: only "merged `/usr`" directory schemes are allowed, symlinks have been removed
 
 It can be summarized by the following table:
