It shouldn't have to be said, and probably it is old school to try and
keep things portable when there is no need to use new stuff for simple
tasks like this.

Anyway, it seems its just a matter of adding the python3 package to the
old container images and then most of them will work with what is in
that script, what doesn't work is really old and then NO_LIBBPF=1 is the
way to go.

In the end, kinda nothing to see here, go back to adding cool new stuff,
lets not hold eBPF from progressing ;-P
