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-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository 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.
