Waydroid-Linux say its based on debian bookworm but using sid repos?

**Describe the bug** To reproduce the issue: - Download Debian 12 beta (Li…neage17.1) from https://waydro.id/#wdlinux. - Install it. - Check /etc/apt/sources.list. In the link provided https://sourceforge.net/projects/blissos-dev/files/waydroid/linux/beta/debian/bookworm/03-15-22/, it states: > This is the first Debian/Waydroid Remix we've done, based on bookworm (sid). "bookworm (sid)"? It's like saying it's based on stable (unstable) -> what? Note: Using sid repositories to upgrade the system (comes by default in the OS) and then trying to use Waydroid won't work either, because one of its dependencies relies on python3.9 and below, while sid only has versions 3.10 and above. Thx!

Not a Tor friendly anyway:

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** The issue is… that Waydroid images are only being downloaded from SourceForge, which is an unreliable source to choose when downloading files over Tor sadly because it consistently blocks Tor connections. Sourceforge blocked the attempt: ``` [workstation user ~]% sudo waydroid init -f [sudo] password for user: [19:10:34] Downloading https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/system/lineage/waydroid_x86_64/lineage-18.1-20230422-VANILLA-waydroid_x86_64-system.zip/download [19:10:38] ERROR: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden [19:10:38] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid> Run 'waydroid log' for details. zsh: exit 1 sudo waydroid init -f ``` Changed Tor circuits and sourceforge accepted!, but not completely :( (success on `VANILLA-waydroid_x86_64-system` but not `MAINLINE-waydroid_x86_64-vendor`) ``` [workstation user ~]% sudo waydroid init -f [19:12:14] Downloading https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/system/lineage/waydroid_x86_64/lineage-18.1-20230422-VANILLA-waydroid_x86_64-system.zip/download [Downloading] 769.85 MB/769.85 MB 153.07 kbps(approx.)[19:56:07] Validating system image [19:56:14] Extracting to /var/lib/waydroid/images [19:56:45] Downloading https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/vendor/waydroid_x86_64/lineage-18.1-20230422-MAINLINE-waydroid_x86_64-vendor.zip/download [19:56:46] ERROR: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden [19:56:46] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid> Run 'waydroid log' for details. zsh: exit 1 sudo waydroid init -f ``` Stuck on having `MAINLINE-waydroid_x86_64-vendor` (no matter how many times i tried to change Tor circuits) ``` [workstation user ~]% sudo waydroid init -f [sudo] password for user: [20:00:01] Downloading https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/vendor/waydroid_x86_64/lineage-18.1-20230422-MAINLINE-waydroid_x86_64-vendor.zip/download [20:00:02] ERROR: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden [20:00:02] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid> Run 'waydroid log' for details. zsh: exit 1 sudo waydroid init -f [workstation user ~]% ``` **Describe the solution you'd like** Add the ability to obtain Waydroid images from different websites that are more Tor-friendly. One option could be to incorporate the use of --xyz.com to download waydroid image from alternative mirrors. And, if feasible, downloading waydroid via Tor hidden services using --onion. **Additional context** Im contributor to [Whonix Anonymous OS](https://www.whonix.org/) which is debian based, we also encourage users if they want to have android apps [[1]](https://forums.whonix.org/t/running-android-apps-inside-whonix-workstation-anbox-proof-of-concept/7441) [[2]](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Anbox) working on gnu/linux and torified system to consider Whonix as their preferable option.
