RasPiOS Lite images lack python3.11-venv needed to create Python virtual environment

[DeeJay]

With an as-installed unmodified Lite image of RasPiOS Bookworm from 2023-10-10-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite or 2023-10-10-raspios-bookworm-armhf-lite the package python3.11-venv is not pre-installed.

This means it is not immediately/trivially possible to create a Python virtual environment.

david@rp0bw101032ltsd:~ $ python3 -m venv venvhack
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.

    apt install python3.11-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: /home/david/venvhack/bin/python3

david@rp0bw101032ltsd:~ $ 

Can be fixed by the end-user by installing that required package - sudo apt install python3.11-venv

Installation by default seems preferable given the new situation calling for near-mandatory use of venvs by python users. Ref: #4

That seems reaonable. @XECDesign ?
