One could argue if even the official Raspberry Pi OS repos or even the Debian repos do #2 or #3 but the existing "Debian process" does a decent job on #1.
I don't know what's going on...
Used to be, I'd download an image, flash it, and be good to go. Today I downloaded the current version of Bookworm and finally gave up after four attempts using Balena Etcher and two different TF cards and two different USB adapters.?? Failed verification every time,? and to make sure it wasn't just Windows messing with the card, I tried each one in a Pi 4 and none would boot with a message saying to "insert SD card".? Finally went to the 32 bit version and it worked the first time, no verification errors with everything else the same.
And that process is all because I've given up trying to use the Raspberry Pi Imager - it fails verification every time and others say their experience has been the same.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the code (because I doubt there is) but when the way of proving integrity is a checksum and it fails, who knows?
