# Removing unused packages.
# Use dpkg --purge --force-depends rather than apt-get remove --purge:
# in Debian trixie, python3.13 and libpython3.13-stdlib Depend: tzdata,
# so apt cascades the purge and drops the entire Python stack, which
# breaks rootfses that need python3-tap / python3-yaml / asyncio etc.
