This, and from digging through packages for mentions of "ensurepip", it
appears that there *is* no package for it.

Furthermore, it appears that the detection for "am I running in system
python" is broken and that breaks trying to create a virtual
environment:

$ apt install python3-venv
...
$ python3 -m venv venv
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip
is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-
venv
package using the following command.
...

That should probably be a different bug, I suppose?
