It is a big program that covers a lot of ground. What is disconcerting
is that you see the dependencies called out instead of being wrapped
into a blob.
Not going to make much difference to the dependencies but this:
sudo apt install postgis=3.0.3+dfsg-2.pgdg20.04+1
should actually be:
sudo apt install postgresql-12-postgis-3=3.0.3+dfsg-2.pgdg20.04+1
The first form has a dependency on the latest Postgres, so will want to
install Postgres 15.
