I've looked into it again, and nowadays it uses 'Ubuntu 22.04'[1] for
that, so we can simply use the latest Trisquel version instead
(Trisquel 11.0 LTS).

Alternatively we could submit patches to not require another
distribution to build the module and/or to use Guix for building it.

If I recall well it is done in this way to increase compatibility with
distributions as older modules probably work better in recent kernels
than the opposite.
