Well, the point is how to detect and conflict if a package is for UsrMerge but the installed system isn't. People try to update a firmware package built for TW onto a Leap system like before, and it breaks suddenly now.
Can happen with anything you take from TW. Packages are hardly strictly tied to a specific distro.
But the kernel is different. We always advertised Kernel:* can be installed on any distro...
Well, in the case here you can. It's just not guaranteed that it works without adding some compat symlinks or install other adjusted userspace tooling. The safeguards discussed here ie conflicting with the filesystem package actually do prevent installation on older distros though (or cause severe havoc if someone tries to "fix" that by installing filesystem). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
