Merge #390

390: Limit old suite workaround r=obbardc a=andhe

The workaround for #361 that was applied in b3c1f76 breaks recipes for bookworm and newer.

This change makes the workaround less damaging (should atleast work with official debian releases for the forseeable future), while still far from perfect (any derivate distribution that is bookworm-based will fail).
