Research direction

Start with the Debian 12 installation commands and the percona-server-server dependency output, then inspect this repository's packaging and dependency metadata for percona-telemetry-agent. Done means the documented PERCONA_TELEMETRY_DISABLE=1 installation path no longer fails because the agent package is unavailable; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
