Title:
  [usrmerge] evaluate wsl-pro-service for DEP17 compliance

Status in wsl-pro-service package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in wsl-pro-service source package in Resolute:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  wsl-pro-service has been identified as having a possible issue related
  to usr-merge. DEP-17 describes the issue and problems at length[0].
  The check done was not perfect, and may lead to false positives. The
  following was the run to identify possible packages, further refined
  with slight pruning of obvious false positives

  apt-file search --package-only --regexp
  '^/(sbin|bin|lib|lib32|lib64|libx32)/*'

  Lintian, when run on a suitably new system (such as within a resolute
  build environment), will provide some errors related to usr-merge. an
  example of a Lintian error from busybox

  E: busybox-static: aliased-location [bin/]
  E: busybox-static: aliased-location [bin/static-sh]

  Please evalute wsl-pro-service for any issues dictated in dep17
