Description:
When trying to use setup-python on a Debian-based runner, an error is thrown that it cannot find the python SDK.

Error: The version '3.12.3' with architecture 'x64' was not found for Debian 11.
  The list of all available versions can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json

It comes down to the fast that the version manifest contains Ubuntu versions number that are irrelevant to Debian, I'm unsure how relevant the platform_version is compare to architecture and platform, because the downloaded file are linux binaries not specific to a distribution I think.

Something must have changed because this is a new behavior.

Hello @loopingz , Thank you for the pull request. While adding an ignore-platform-version option would enhance compatibility for Debian-based runners, it introduces additional complexity and could lead to potential compatibility issues, especially if users install versions that are not fully supported by their OS. As per our support policy, we only support versions available on our hosted runners. This ensures a more consistent and reliable experience across all environments.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to continue sharing your feedback with us.

It is your decision to support or not other operating systems.

My opinion is that GitHub should target wider based on its dominant position.
