I didn't mean to revert the GIT package (because then I'm responsble for
fixing the Gitea stuff which I know very little about  ;-)  and moreover I
don't generally object against installing packages from compatible distros.

But if we do so, then I'd prefer not to forcibly break dependencies - as I
wrote earlier - but instead properly install the required packages as well.

Cheers,
