The Debian Nix package causes flake builds to fail inside the test and
container environment due to sandboxing and patched Nix behavior.
To ensure consistent behaviour across all distributions and align
container logic with production logic, pkgmgr now relies on its own
`init-nix.sh` bootstrap script instead of the distro’s `nix` package.
Dropping `Depends: nix` guarantees that both Debian containers and real
Debian systems install and initialize Nix via the upstream installer,
matching the behaviour on Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu.
