Since version 256, systemd will taint the system if /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin are not merged, known as merged-bin:
# systemctl --no-pager status
● buildroot
State: running
Units: 166 loaded (incl. loaded aliases)
Jobs: 0 queued
Failed: 0 units
Since: Mon 2025-07-07 19:48:05 UTC; 19s ago
systemd: 257.7
Tainted: unmerged-bin
CGroup: /
├─init.scope
[...]
Although this is not yet an error, it will be in the future.
To be as ready as we can be when that happens, forcibly enable
merged-bin, like we did when we initially added merged-usr (except
this time we carry the select from systemd, even though it is not
yet strictly required, rather than from the init entry).
Extend the runtime test to catch any tainted flag.
