the debian raspi (not raspbian) images have been taken over by the debian cloud team and integrated into their build process, which is good, except that the resulting images boot and do nothing, so you need a keyboard and monitor anyway

i thought i got away with going through the systemd-firstboot prompts to set up a root password but apparently sshd isn't running either so i gotta get the keyboard again

@iliana What kernel does the image use, upstream Debian linux-image-arm64? Last time I tried that (about eight months ago, on a RPi4), I was disappointed to find that SD card throughput was worse by a factor of ~two compared with the Raspbian kernel, and the USB host driver didn't allow uhubctl to toggle port power. I wish RPi Foundation would put more effort into upstreaming.
