But it won't make disappear a separate /usr partition "by magic".

This thread is talking about upgrades. Do you suggest an upgrade
copying the contents of the /usr partition over to the / partition
and dropping the separate /usr (perhaps recovering the space somehow)?

Sounds pretty risky.

FWIW, I still have a separate /usr on Buster (inherited from older
installations). I'd have no problems with a merged /usr, but hey,
I have no problems with leaving things as they are either.
