This fixes build failures caused by GDAL 3.12.0 migrating to Debian testing on November 15, 2025. The migration introduced breaking API changes in GetGeoTransform/SetGeoTransform signatures that are incompatible with Python GDAL 3.11.3 bindings. Changes: - Use system python3-gdal package instead of pip-compiled bindings - Enable --system-site-packages in virtualenv to access system packages - Add overrides.txt to resolve soil-id's GDAL 3.11.3 requirement - Remove Debian testing pin that was pulling GDAL 3.12 - Use stable Trixie GDAL 3.10.3 which is compatible Root cause: Debian testing was pinned to get "3.10.x" but is a rolling target. When GDAL 3.12 migrated to testing, builds broke due to C++ API changes (double* -> GDALGeoTransform&) that pip-compiled bindings don't support. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

We should be using 3.11.x — right now, that's what Ubuntu unstable has. Debian and Homebrew both support 3.12. |

Note: I'm not sure this is the best fix, but currently "make build" doesn't work, so we should figure out something :).
