[docs-scanner] Debian version support contradicts stated policy #25700

Description

@docker-agent

Files:

  • content/manuals/desktop/setup/install/linux/_index.md
  • content/manuals/desktop/setup/install/linux/debian.md

Issue

The overview page states a general support policy that contradicts the Debian-specific installation page.

From _index.md (line 132):

Docker supports Docker Desktop on the current and previous LTS releases of the aforementioned distributions, as well as the most recent version.

From debian.md (line 27):

Have a 64-bit version of Debian 12.

Why this matters

A reader on Debian 11 would read the overview and understand that Docker Desktop supports "current and previous LTS releases" of Debian. When they navigate to the Debian installation page, they find only Debian 12 is listed, with no mention of Debian 11. This creates confusion about whether Debian 11 is actually supported.

If Debian 11 is no longer supported, the overview's "current and previous LTS" policy statement is misleading. If Debian 11 is supported, the Debian page is incomplete.

Suggested fix

Either:

  1. Update debian.md to explicitly list both Debian 12 and Debian 11 (if both are supported), or
  2. Update the policy statement in _index.md to accurately reflect which Debian versions are supported, or
  3. Add a note in debian.md explaining why only Debian 12 is listed despite the general policy
