Too early. SaltStack is broken, I am affected by this issue and can’t copy dotfiles to my AppVM based on Debian 13.

`qubesctl` fails when targeting a `Deb13` VM together with `saltenv=user`

### Qubes OS Release `4.2` and `4.3` might also be affected. ### Brief Summary… When trying to apply a Salt state using `qubesctl [...] saltenv=user`, targeting a `debian-13` VM (Gnome, Xfce, or minimal) and specifying a file path (`salt://<path>`) inside the Salt file, the file cannot be found. ### Steps to Reproduce In `dom0`, run: 1. Create and configure `user_salt` using `qubesctl state.apply qubes.user-dirs`. 2. Put the Salt file `manage-file.sls` and the file to be managed, `managed-file.txt`, inside `/srv/user_salt`. ``` # manage-file.sls /etc/foo.conf: file.managed: - source: - salt://managed-file.txt [...] ``` 3. Run `sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --show-output --targets=debian-13 state.apply manage-file saltenv=user`. ### Expected Behavior Salt runs without failures and replaces the file. ### Actual Behavior File not found in saltenv 'user'. ### Additional Information This issue only occurs when targeting a `debian-13` VM; targeting `fedora` or `whonix-17` works fine. Target VM & MGMT-VM salt version: `3007.1` Possibly related: - #9916 - #8491 - #9129
