ChangeOn Debian-like systems, the package selection code now uses -dbg rather than -dbgsym for certain packages where applicable.
ChangeWhen configuring replication slots, TPA will now ensure that only valid characters are used in the primary_slot_name. Previously TPA would use the inventory_hostname as a default, which could contain hyphens; these are now replaced with underscores.

Bug fixFixed an issue whereby TPA could not install etcd packages on RHEL 8.
Bug fixFixed an issue whereby the message Failed to commit files to git: b'' would be displayed during configure.
Bug fixFixed an issue whereby TPA would erroneously generate and overwrite Postgres user passwords when generate_password: false.
