That is unfortunately correct.

I had to patch buildah to be able to compile against the ancient version of
docker
we currently have in debian (Version 20). The code for HEREDOC support
isn't actually
in buildah, but taken from the docker.io package, and therefore not even in
Debian.

Good news is that we now have docker 26 in experimental, (cf. #1051202,
#1051202, #1033839)
which at least opens up a path. I'll update the buildah package in
experimental soon to compile
against this version of docker, which should make this patch unnecessary.

Thanks for your interest in the package. Test reports, in particular on the
docker 26.1 package in experimental, would be much appreciated to help get
this change into unstable soon. It'd be a real shame if it didn't make it
the next stable release.

Best,
