The early abort once one is found seems like a good idea in general, but
I still do not really like that happening unconditionally, this could get hidden
behind and  opt-in CLI option flag - with a single skip log if not taken.

An admin with only bleeding-edge Arch Linux container then could then just
snicker over software from the stone age and just continue ;)

Also, you're currently missing some cheap optimizations like skipping devuan/alpine
config ostypes early, doing needless work for them.

I'd rather prefer copying the required helpers over, as this is mainly required
for stable-6, and it would make it way easier than having versioned dependency
handling for just this in two releases.

nit, but why not grep? Would make it a bit more explicit here, avoiding that any
innocent reader thinks map makes this not work and then spent time getting proved
otherwise ;-)

Maybe start with "Found at least one CT ($ctid) which does not supp...", makes the
nature of the check slightly less subtle IMO.

maybe factor out the common part of that specific log message
