While that appears to be a 'proper' driver for RTL8188EU, it looks like there
was a previous driver for it in staging:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/log/?h=linux-6.1.y&qt=grep&q=RTL8188EU

The new installation report (https://bugs.debian.org/1035824) has this line:
[42871.936975] r8188eu: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

Am I missing something (still)?
