Note that Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 do not have the ``libmpdec-dev``
package. You can remove it from the install list above: for Python 3.15
and older, the build will use a bundled version; for Python 3.16 and
newer, the bundled copy has been removed and the :mod:`decimal` module
will fall back to its slower pure-Python implementation. We recommend
using the system
package. You can remove it from the install list above: for Python 3.14
and older, the build will use a bundled version; for Python 3.15, the
build will use the bundled version only if you pass
``--without-system-libmpdec`` to ``configure``. Otherwise, and for
Python 3.16 and newer, where the bundled copy has been removed, the
:mod:`decimal` module will fall back to its slower pure-Python
implementation. We recommend using the system
`libmpdec <https://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/doc/libmpdec/>`__ library.
Either build it from sources or install this package from
https://deb.sury.org.
