Also, would you pls bother - as asked - to quote 'just enough' for your

yep, the smarter & more documented the question, the better (the chance of a)
good answer; if anybody has already one, that is. Else you need to wait, or
try to figure out by yourself & contribute back to the community.

Anyway, there's plenty of alternatives out there to try - eg Ubuntu as
you mentioned; you know that Debian's pkg aren't as updated as other
distros. Perhaps checking whether distro X version y.z get it right, and
reporting to the ML would be more helpful than just blaming Debian.

this is a public ML: 'you' in such context usually means Debian's devs; to
avoid misundertanding, pls use the usual form '@name:'.

Debian devs don't have all the hw on the market avail for testing - nor
they'd have the time to do the testing anyway. Also, they mostly depend on
upstream. All get feedback from the userbase, which hopely helps to improve
things.
Sadly your way to make feedback doesn't help much.
