Description
Merging imports shouldn't add anything for itself, but just reorganize currently present imports (just merge them).
While it's quite common that after the merge I see bouns "self::…" added before my current imports… and it's followed with tons of warnings and errors.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the merge-imports behavior in rust-analyzer and trace the import-merging entry point; use the issue discussion for context. Done means merging imports only reorganizes existing imports, does not add bonus self imports, and avoids the reported warnings and errors.
