[tlbuild] Debian Buster EOL

Hi Andreas,

Yes, well aware of that.

We always try to build on the oldest possible system to get optimal
compatibility. glibc changes are unfortunately far too common and
destroy compatibility.

When building goes "bust" as you said, and there is no other way, then
we will update to bullseye or some other distribution.

Best regards

Norbert
