Proposed changes
Debian maintainers, oddly enough, are not updating the zabbix-agent2 6.x package in Bookworm, despite known vulnerabilities. There's zabbix-agent2 7.x in bookworm-backports, but 6.x is the current LTS version, and 7.x may not work with older Zabbix servers, so we cannot "just" upgrade to 7.x.
Using the official repo solves that problem, since they include the latest versions there. One peculiarity is that they have separate repos for x86-64 and aarch64, which is why URLs in files for different architectures are different.
