On debian 12, PG 15, gdal 3.6.2 is the latest system pkg.
However, I've built PostGIS 3.5.3 with non-system pkg GDAL 3.11.3. That
GDAL version is built with the latest non-system pkg geos 3.14 and
sfcgal 2.3.0.
I can build PostGIS with the latest non-system pkg GDAL, but not the
latest non-system pkg geos/sfcgal. Kinda weird.

I don't think so. Both GEOS and SFCGAL are considered system libraries by
Ubuntu/Debian. So is GDAL.
As such they are usually at the version shipped with your OS.
