The jargon for this thing is "usrmerge". With that, search engines
turn up some hits on other people with your same needs, e.g.
https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/2023/09/11/Upgrade-Debian-11-to-12-without-usrmerge-errors/
I don't know whether some applications start breaking because of that
(why should they, but there's badly designed software everywhere).
Cheers & good luck
