yarn 3.0 needs nodejs 12. So this was a work around used to force yarn
2.x. Looks like there is no way to install 2.x versions of yarn anymore :(

So we will have to update minimum version of nodejs to 12 (already done
for latest versions in bullseye) and use yarn set version berry. I guess
you will have to use nodejs from official repos or we will have to
backport nodejs 12 to buster.
