Commit 28323e6 ("ci: switch from ubuntu:devel to a more stable debian:latest") switched away from the Ubuntu devel release (which can be more unstable since it is a release in development) but also switched from Ubuntu to Debian.

Switch to ubuntu:rolling which is the latest Ubuntu release which should be stable enough for our purposes. Ubuntu gets a new release every six month in comparsion to Debian which cuts a new release around every two years.

Thanks @bdrung . This is ok by me if the tests are passing currently with this change.

qemu-system-aarch64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 5098 (timeout)

Seems Debian is a bit faster than ubuntu:rolling, but this can be mitigated by #2336

Test 71 on ubuntu:rolling on ARM seems to be so slow that it does not finish in one hour and it times out.

On Debian it seems to run much faster (around 14 min) - see https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/actions/runs/23927501489/job/69787337312
