@hugovk: FYI, this will fail for Ubuntu 24.04, as libmpdec-dev is unavailable there.

I've been trying to figure out why that is, and have come up short (I get lost quickly in the Debian/Ubuntu development process). All I've found is a note from @doko42 in the Ubuntu python3.11 3.11.2-4 changelog, saying "Build with internal mpdecimal library, so that mpdecimal can be removed for bookworm." (and indeed, Debian bookworm does not have a libmpdec package either).
