The binary installer incorrectly detects my Debian 12 system as Ubuntu and doesn't complete the install.

Would you like to install Docker?

Done E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bookworm Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. Installation complete! root@xcvbn:~#

Looking at the docker install documentation, the docker repo is at "https://download.docker.com/linux/debian"
