You know what irks me the most about this change to pip behaviour in Debian. Linux is such a foot gun by design, you can do anything you want with usually no resistance or warning by the distro or kernel but this is where the line is drawn??
It's not like you couldn't have gone the other way and wrap system python packages into their venv.
Let people do unwise things, there are so many better defaults they could have chosen (redirect to local user with warning).
