Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to `keepassxc-full` to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.
This is the kind of crap that makes me glad flatpak and such exist. I don’t want a maintainer making arbitrary decisions like this, it adds unpredictability and platform inconsistency.
A similar issue I face is that on Debian the python stdlib well… isn’t all standard. In particular they split off the venv package, and it’s an extra step that adds unnecessary complication. No other Linux distros or other OS do this, it’s so frustrating. I guess someone is super happy they saved a few hundreds kilobytes of disk space though.

Yes. All the people basing docker images off if debian, and trying to get them as small as possible. The splitting up of packages, allows people to only pull in what they need.

… not use Debian.

I don’t think many docker images out there will have keepassxc installed though.
If you base your Docker images on a full distribution then that is entirely your fault. People usually use specialized distributions for that.
You could even bootstrap your needed tooling from Busybox.
Debian or Ubuntu are usually the best choice if you depend on glibc. Alpine is definitely more compact but musl isn’t always an option.
Specialized distributions like minideb still use the Debian packages, they just use fewer by default.
