Still no success, but anyway this method looks much tidier and easier than two others I tried before.
Three additional steps I had to add:

7.1. pip install --upgrade pip
7.2. apt install cargo   #(additional 400MB!)
7.3. apt install pkg-config

The error I get is:

[homeassistant.util.package] Unable to install package PyQRCode==1.2.1: error: No virtual environment found; run `uv venv` to create an environment, or pass `--system` to install into a non-virtual environment

Actually there is lots of those - not only PyQRCode. But they say essentially the same.

Probably just some variables or paths needed to set, but I’m not familiar with python and venv.
