There are problems with creating multiarch devcontainers in one go via buildx and docker. One of the several solutions is to build and push per-architecture-tags, then create a merged metadata file with *all* architectures in one tag. Not perfect, but fits the current structure best (with docker-in-docker etc.)
this dramatically speeds up the builds, and the exact tool versions probably do not matter that much.

There are problems with creating multiarch containers in one go via buildx and docker. One special complication is that we have to use
devcontainer-clisince we build a devcontainer. One of the several solutions is to sequentially build and push per-architecture-tags, then create a merged metadata file with all architectures in one tag and push that as well. Not perfect, but fits the current structure best (with docker-in-docker etc.)Also: replaced the
gitandgit-lfsdevcontainer features with simple apt install calls. The features would actually re-build binaries from source, while there are pre-built binaries existing for the distribution already. The precise version of the tools likely does not make a difference; and even if it does: then we can use the Git PPA.Closes #42
