On page https://github.com/cri-o/packaging/blob/main/README.md the Distributions using rpm packages section contains https://github.com/cri-o/packaging/blob/main/README.md#configure-a-container-network-interface-cni-plugin which describes how to enable the basic bridge CNI.
However, the Distributions using deb packages section does not have this subsection.
As a result, when following the Distributions using deb packages list steps, the node will be NotReady.
Of course, instead of duplicating the same text, maybe the Configure a Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin, Start CRI-O, and Bootstrap a cluster subsections should be moved down to a common After software is installed section.
