In the worst case scenario if we cannot get this working, we can 
document how to setup yarn 2 using the package instead of dropping this 
from bullseye.

We may have to update description and move to contrib in that case. We 
can at least built this in bullseye, which is an improvement from the 
earlier state where we had to use snapshot.debian.org to build and 
bootstrap.
