I'm not sure who you think the first and second parties are. Debian is a distribution, not a software company. The best you can expect from Debian is what I gave you: the Release Notes for bookworm.¹ Debian offers no guarantees, and you're reminded of this every time you login: "Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law." > I could have risked if a Debian system snapshot could be > saved and in case of any trouble, could be reverted back to. > > Yes, a virtual environment (i.e., virtualisation) however is an idea > that could theoretically be looked into, but that would mean extra > system resources to be spent for it. AIUI a standalone binary is bound to use more resources anyway, because it duplicates some already supplied as part of the OS. ¹ As you later wrote: "something published as the Debian Wiki, Release Notes, Debian GNU/Linux FAQ or other informative posts or webpages that could help disseminate information about issues that matter." Cheers, David.
