+  At the beginning there was no way but to copy & paste `apt-get`
+  everywhere.  But now that we have composite actions, it seems better
+  merge them into one.

+      Architecture.  Because we run this on a GitHub-hosted runner
+      acceptable value for this input is very limited.

+      Actual architecture.  This could be different from the one
+      passed to the `inputs.arch`.  For instance giving `i386` to this
+      action yields `i686`.
