Description

I might have missed the reasoning if it is explained somewhere, but I'm just going to ask instead of looking around more.

The Debian base for (at least) TruffleRuby is Debian 10 (Buster) which is EOL, and only supported by ELTS. Is there a reason this is used for the Debian images, and if possible can it be updated to oldstable (11 Bullseye) or even stable (12 Bookworm)?

Research direction

Locate the Debian base-image declarations for TruffleRuby and the other Debian images in the repository's Dockerfiles. First check whether the project documents why Debian 10 is used, then compare the current image definitions with the requested Bullseye or Bookworm target. Done means the selected Debian images use an agreed supported base and still build successfully.
