hi,

with usrmerge and https://subdivi.de/~helmut/dep17.html in place, how often is
it the case that a binary needs to be relocated? I'm skeptical that this
warrants coverage in devref.

these days we also have sources.d.n to track down any path references across the
archive, but even then, that doesn't cover references in locally-owned
files/configs.

thanks,
serafi
