Debian Trixie (13) has removed software-properties-common, breaking bootstrap.sh #7877
Description
Description of problem
Just tried to bootstrap Dokku on a fresh Debian 13 (Trixie) VM, and it produces the following output:
admin@trixie-test:/tmp/dokku$ sudo apt update
Get:1 file:/etc/apt/mirrors/debian.list Mirrorlist [38 B]
Get:2 file:/etc/apt/mirrors/debian-security.list Mirrorlist [47 B]

Preparing to install v0.36.1 from https://github.com/dokku/dokku.git...
--> Ensuring we have the proper dependencies
E: Unable to locate package software-properties-commonSteps to reproduce
In my case;
- Launch a new EC2 instance from the
Debian 13 (arm64)AMI (ami-06329a2d246a44575).
- SSH in.
- Follow the Dokku bootstrap steps:
mkdir /tmp/dokkucd /tmp/dokkuwget -NP . https://dokku.com/install/v0.36.1/bootstrap.shsudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.36.1 bash bootstrap.sh
dokku report $APP_NAME
Since this is an installation failure, the dokku executable is never made available.
Additional information

- Dependency software-properties-common has been removed from Debian Trixie (v13, Testing) wimpysworld/deb-get#1215
It's not clear when the software-properties package will be back in debian's stable repos, or if it will ever be. Which would seem to imply that Dokku may need to find an alternative or workaround.
