Refactor dependency installation to use multi-line format

Ansible PPA (ansible-core 2.20+) requires Python 3.12+ which is not
available on Debian 12 (ships Python 3.11). This causes a SyntaxError
during ansible-core installation on Debian.

Ubuntu 24.04 ships Python 3.12 natively, making the Ansible PPA fully
compatible. Replaced the manual deb822 repo setup with the native
apt-add-repository PPA method.
