Testing tracking for Debian

[philclifford]

Having looked at a couple of Debian-related issues it seemed useful to create an issue to capture what works, what doesn't/cannot and maybe also what is important to solve. This is just a log of drive-by tests while proving Debian 11 fixes so far, but might save a little time and effort.

Testing done on Debian 11 mate edition after installing wget , running the patched self-installing script to install dependencies then checking out and patching a local copy to work around #350

The following install without issues so far:

• [x] bat
• [x] fd
• [x] jami
• [x] lsd
• [x] zenith
• [x] gh
• [x] azure-cli
• [x] tailscale (#360 with #361 applied)
• [x] git-delta
• [x] duf
• [x] syncthing
• [x] powershell
• [x] pandoc
• [x] obs-cli
• [x] obsidian

(firefox-esr is in default installation)

Closing for now. Now there's automated testing it is probably better to validate "must-haves" for debian in a test suite. Could be re-opened/re-worked if there's a need
