[ Reason ]
Improve the usrmerge experience in bookworm.
A few more ancient packages were found that need to be removed first for
usrmerge to succeed, add versioned Breaks against them.
Depending on the time a system was bootstrapped or converted, there may
be biarch directories/links not owned by any package
(e.g. /usr/libx32 and /libx32 -> /usr/libx32)
Since these are now handled by the respective packages from src:glibc,
bootstrapping and conversion no longer create them and we can clean them
up if they are empty and not owned by a package.
Clarify errors in case something goes wrong during usrmerge conversion.
[ Impact ]
Unclear errors if something fails.
Failing usrmerge conversion if certain ancient packages are installed.
Leftover unowned files that may disappear on certain upgrade paths and
confuse CI tools.
Inconsistent handling of /etc/shells and shells.state.
[ Tests ]
Local piuparts tests of bookworm (w/ updated package) and various
distupgrade tests from bullseye (or earlier) to bookworm (w/ updated
package).
[ Risks ]
Low.

[ Other info ]
This is a rebuild of a package that was previously in sid and testing.
(The current version (38) in sid made usrmerge mandatory in all cases
and is not applicable to bookworm (which supports the usrmerge opt-out.)
