Updates MySQL setup to handle unsupported Debian testing/unstable suites by falling back to bookworm if available, with improved error messaging. Ensures PostgreSQL binaries are added to PATH during installation. Expands Ruby setup to install all required build dependencies.
Replaces the inlined VAAPI passthrough logic in misc/build.func with calls to an external passthrough.func script, streamlining and centralizing hardware passthrough handling. Adds a new misc/passthrough.func file and introduces a hwaccel_setup_in_ct helper in misc/tools.func for hardware acceleration setup inside containers.
