Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Following the instructions to install Kimchi on Debian 12 (link below):

https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/releases/tag/3.0.0

I get the following package dependency error for the 'wok' Debian package.

E: Package 'python-m2crypto' has no installation candidate

There is a package

python3-m2crypto/stable 0.38.0-4+b1 amd64
    Python wrapper for the OpenSSL library (Python 3 modules)

After installing the python3-m2crypto package I am still unable to install the 'wok' Deb package:

sudo dpkg --install wok-3.0.0-0.debian.noarch.deb
Selecting previously unselected package wok.
(Reading database ... 36192 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack wok-3.0.0-0.debian.noarch.deb ...
Unpacking wok (3.0.0) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wok:
wok depends on python-m2crypto; however:
Package python-m2crypto is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package wok (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
wok

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Updated DEB Kimchi packages compatible with Debian 12
  2. Updated instructions in the above GitHub installation.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered installing Debian 10 but it's support has reached EOL, cannot use it for production.

Additional context
None.
