Thanks Jeremy, as you said cdebconf-terminal is gone post focal. I found no other new dependencies either.
Indeed the modern version is fine and keeps being updated vte2.91 | 0.42.5-1ubuntu1 | xenial | source vte2.91 | 0.52.1-1ubuntu1 | bionic | source vte2.91 | 0.52.2-1ubuntu1~18.04.2 | bionic-updates | source vte2.91 | 0.60.1-1ubuntu1 | focal | source vte2.91 | 0.60.3-0ubuntu1~20.5 | focal-security | source vte2.91 | 0.60.3-0ubuntu1~20.5 | focal-updates | source vte2.91 | 0.68.0-1 | jammy | source vte2.91 | 0.68.0-1ubuntu0.1 | jammy-security | source vte2.91 | 0.68.0-1ubuntu0.1 | jammy-updates | source vte2.91 | 0.76.0-1 | noble | source vte2.91 | 0.76.0-1ubuntu0.1 | noble-security | source vte2.91 | 0.76.0-1ubuntu0.1 | noble-updates | source vte2.91 | 0.78.0-1 | oracular | source vte2.91 | 0.78.2-1build1 | plucky | source But that is not true for the 0.28 branch vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu1 | trusty | source vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu3 | xenial | source vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu4 | bionic/universe | source vte | 1:0.28.2-6build1 | focal/universe | source vte | 1:0.28.2-6build3 | jammy/universe | source vte | 1:0.28.2-6.1build2 | noble/universe | source vte | 1:0.28.2-6.1build2 | oracular/universe | source vte | 1:0.28.2-7 | plucky/universe | source Well it still gets rare updates as in [1], but see Jeremy's post, that is for the Debian installer.
