Subj : Husky Project Compile on Debian 11 and/or AlmaLinux/RockyLinux 8

So, I've been having some major issues trying to migrate from CentOS 7 to either AlmaLinux 8, Rocky Linux 8, or even more preferred at this stage, Debian 11, with trying to get the Husky Tools project to even compile, let alone compile into preferred native packages for these distributions.

I've tried the method of init_rpm_build on AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux, and even openSUSE 15.3 (to no availability of mock at all) and it always fails, specifically on systemd-nspawn part of mock.

The debian/* structure is so outdated it's not even funny. debian/compat is non-existant, and setup as DH_COMPAT in debian/rules, to a long since unsupported version 4, to make things difficult on Debian's side of things.

I'm trying to ultimately move away from CentOS 7 before it becomes unsupported in 2024. I'm prefering the Debian way of things, even though for decades, I've never liked the .deb package format, but I have always appreciated the rest of the setup for servers, the modular design it's always had. And I finally FINALLY figured out how to create a debian repository. ;)

So, any help on this from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
