It’s still a release-critical bug in Debian which impacts arm64 builders
including reproducible-builds. I would see this fixed in bookworm, at
least by a band-aid (raising these limits by default); the proper fix
can be revisited after the release, and in coordination with upstream.

We know the default ulimits for users in Debian, and they are higher
than the 1 MiB assumed by v8, by quite some factor, so this won’t break
things which are not currently broken (by that exception). This will do
for the release I think.

If a proper, upstream-supported, fix arrives within $time it’s even
possible that a bookworm-security update includes that. Still thinking
along the line of getrlimit + subtract known arch-specific value for
the fix here, whatever makes sense with the v8 setting anyway…
