[Bug 2045668] Re: Please merge dbus 1.14.10-3 (main) from Debian unstable

[Steve Langasek]

The usrmerge transition was completed already in Ubuntu several cycles
ago.  We should not promote usr-is-merged to main, we should drop the
dependencies on it instead.

usrmerge can also be dropped from main now.  It is only in main because
it is seeded with the rationale:

 * (usrmerge)     # xnox Default since Disco. Will be mandatory in
22.10. Only recommend, such that it is installed on upgrades, can be
removed afterwards.

The comment is misleading, the commit talking about "mandatory in 22.10"
was made in November 2020.  We've had a full LTS cycle since then where
users, whether on new installs or upgrades, have been in a usrmerge
configuration and there is no support for non-usrmerged filesystems in
Ubuntu 21.04 or later.

So we should drop this recommends, drop usrmerge source from main, and
drop dbus's dependency on usr-is-merged.
