   Debian doesn’t employ anyone, it’s all volunteers.

   ??? why not just install bookworm and then adjust it to taste. If you   
   want ifupdown-style network configuration (which I do) you can just   
   install it under bookworm, edit /etc/network/interfaces. No need to   
   take aroundabout routes like installing bullseye and upgrading.
