Yeah just typical Debian stuff. jwz has been ranting about this for years. It's not worth spending any time on it.

Some suggestions:

- Only "supporting" the latest mainline kernel and latest tools. I prefer to point to CI system configurations to show exactly what it "supported"

- Make this clear via your website and a pinned issue on Github.

- Force users to report the versions they use via an issue template: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-en.... Immediately close any issues not meeting your version/system requirements without further discussion or thought.

That last one’s great advice. I don’t remember if you can use checkboxes there and I’m too lazy to look at the moment, but I could imagine the first question being:

  [ ] I am using Debian packages

and auto-closing if set.
