Leveraging the Debian packaging allows us to preload more packages in the release image, while speeding up the initial pip install process when creating the venv We also cut down on python package version upgrades maintenance overhead Now the Web UI and OLED startup scripts are flagged to use system libraries when creating venvs

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Are the OS packages updated by their maintainers frequently enough, e.g. if there was a security vulnerability, would it be sufficient for the user to run apt-get update? Otherwise, I think the justifications are reasonable enough, let's give it a go?

Debian Bullseye is the old-old-stable release and still getting security patches. I think we can rely on these for another 1.5 years or so. This will give us some breathing room to find a migration path to Debian Trixie. Edit: so yes, a user should be able to to do a apt-get upgrade to get the security patched packages. |

Drop back to a python 3.9 baseline in the GitHub CI jobs as we're stuck on Bullseye
