Sounds good in theory, until you want to install scikit-image or other Python libraries which need complex builds.

I actually can’t remember as it would have been 6+ months ago now. The issue is probably fixed already by the Debian maintainers / Elementary Team / both.

Likely something with Meson build / apt not playing nicely.

Debian really doesn’t like installing different versions of GUI libraries & their dependencies.

I really like Pantheon Files.
