Seems that there is a delay before the disk can be used when using newer
QEMU versions (e.g. on Debian trixie). We get errors like these:
sfdisk: cannot open /dev/nbd0: Inappropriate ioctl for device
or
mount: /srv/strongswan-testing/build/loop: special device /dev/nbd0p1 does not exist.
A sleep before the next command seems to help.
Also see [1].

apt-key add is deprecated (and not available in trixie) as it makes the
available for all sources. The recommended approach makes the key very
specifically available for just our repository.
A recent gettext release (0.25 via Homebrew) installs the M4 macros in a
different location (<prefix>/share/gettext/m4 instead of
<prefix>/share/aclocal). According to the commit messages to avoid "bad
interactions between autoreconf and autopoint". Since we only depend
on gettext for that macro and this move makes it complicated, we can also
just integrate the macro from gnulib directly (which gettext 0.18+ relies
on anyway).
Directly calling setup.py is deprecated (apparently has been for a while,
but now we get large warnings). Direct installation is also discouraged.
So this removes that option. The built wheel (the old egg format is not
used/built anymore) can be installed manually in a venv or the like.
By default, rsyslog is not installed anymore to avoid storing everything
twice (since journald is the default). If this becomes an issue, we
could delete /var/log/journal to only log via rsyslog.
System-wide installation via pip isn't easily possible anymore on Debian
bookworm, so just use the Debian package for this (is available in old
releases as well).
The logrotate function causes the apt history to be split into
several parts at arbitrary points in time. If history.log only
is parsed then some package installation changes stored in
zipped backup history files might get lost.
Thus sw-collector now searches all backup history files until
a date older than the current event stored in the collector.db
database is found, so that no entries get overlooked.
This installs tmux and its two dependencies libevent-2.0-5 and libutempter0.
For the tnc/tnccs-20-ev-pt-tls test scenario older, apparently replaced
versions of these packages are entered to the collector.db database, so that
dummy SWID tags for these packages can be requested via SWIMA.
While we could continue to use FreeRADIUS 2.x that branch is officially EOL.
So instead of investing time and effort in updating/migrating the patches to
FreeRADIUS 3.x (the module changed quite significantly as it relies solely on
the naeap library in that release), for a protocol that is superseded anyway,
we just remove these scenarios and the dependencies. Actually, the
complete rlm_eap_tnc module will be removed with FreeRADIUS 4.0.
There is a bug (fix at [1]) in hostapd 2.1-2.3 that let it crash when used
with the wired driver. The package in jessie (and sid) is affected, so we
build it from sources (same, older, version as wpa_supplicant).

Several packages got renamed/updated, libgcrypt was apparently installed
by default previously.
Since most libraries changed we have to completely rebuild all the tools
installed in the root image. We currently don't provide a clean target in
the recipes, and even if we did we'd have to track which base image we
last built for. It's easier to just use a different build directory for
each base image, at the cost of some additional disk space (if not manually
cleaned). However, that's also the case when updating kernel or
software versions.
Unlike `apt-get install` in a chroot debootstrap does not seem to start
the services but stopping them might cause problems if they were running
outside the chroot.
