In searching, I found this article: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/133251/wiringpi-is-missing-from-bullseye-how-do-i-install-it According to the article, pigpio is the better option anyways and I see the setup instructions for it in the SETUP doc, This might just be a doc clean-up bug.

The new version shouldn't use wiring pi.
