That's actually not quite correct: Puppet 7.8 added support for Ruby 3,
so we should be able to jump there.

It is my hope that we can ship Puppet agent 6 and Puppet server 7 in
bookworm to fix all of those issues in one fell swoop. See:

I don't think it's worth fixing the Puppet 5.5 packages to be honest,
our energy is better spent updating to upstream packages.
