Warning : Failed to set up UEFI / The Libvirt version does not support UEFI / Install options are limited...

I've installed Debian bookworm instead of devuan. Maybe it's easier,since I
know debian better than devuan. Let me understand a point : should I issue
"apt build-dep libvirt" instead of "apt install virt-manager" ? aren't they
equivalent commands ? Usually,as soon as I reinstall Debian,I do the
installation of virt-manager and it grabs all its dependencies. If I
understand correctly,I should not install virt-manager and its
dependencies,right ? thanks.
