 On `bullseye`, `petsc` causes problems which are fixed by using `2019.1.0.post0`.
 There is an unused patch for `petsc` and `slepsc` which is included "just in case" it becomes useful at a future date.

+# TODO
+- [ ] github actions to publish images automatically (cross-platform)
+- [ ] build (with env vars?) for different base-python images (or separate dockerfiles)
+- [ ] slim down images (can we remove the source directories after installation if we combine the python and C++ steps?) (can we use the `slim` version of the images?)
+- [ ] combine Dockerfiles (make env variables for dolfin version + python version), use makefile to control different options
+- [ ] cover all python versions shown by following output (list built from [docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/python?tab=tags)):

+```sh
+echo {3.6.{14..15},3.{7..8}.{11..12},3.9.{6..9},3.10.{0..1}}-{bullseye,buster}
+echo 3.{7..8}.{4..10}-buster
