If you go that route here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=282839 you install using the official netinst images from ftp.debian.org, so this ist built just the same way that amd64 is (on Debian infrastructure with official tooling). As you use the official installer, there is also no weird preseeding of host keys or other questionable practices. > The official Raspberry Pi OS (the arm64 version of it) supports both > armhf and arm64 debian packages out of the box (And has support for > these enabled in dpkg). Yes, but when I update my rasbperry pis and my amd64 boxes, I really get identical versions from the same servers. My /etc/apt/sources.list reads like: # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Bullseye_ - Official Snapshot arm64 NETINST 20210521-08:45]/ bullseye main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free You cannot really get much more vanilla than that. /ralph
