    Hi,

    while investigating #1030311, I discovered python3-grpc-tools
    contains an old copy of the google protobuf library. In
    third_party/protobuf.

    This library is used to build, and obviously has old bugs like https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/3937 - from
    2017/2018.

    At the very least this should be registered with the code copy
    registry and updated. IMO it would be better to use libprotobuf-dev
    and libproto-c though.
