Deploy issue with Python PIL/Pillow and libwebp.so.7 not found
I'm running into what seems like a fairly simple deploy issue: 
from faerymarket.utils import image
File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/faerymarket/utils/image.py", line 9, in <module>
from PIL import Image as PILImage
File "/opt/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 114, in <module>
from . import _imaging as core
ImportError: libwebp.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In my earlier attempts, I simply couldn't get the package to build, so I updated the railway.json file to include the build dependencies. Here is my railway.json file: 
{
  "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "NIXPACKS",
    "nixpacksPlan": {
      "phases": {
        "setup": {
          "aptPkgs": ["...", "libtiff5-dev" , "libjpeg-dev", "libopenjp2-7-dev", "zlib1g-dev", "libfreetype6-dev", "liblcms2-dev", "libwebp-dev", "libharfbuzz-dev", "libfribidi-dev", "libxcb1-dev"]
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "deploy": {
    "numReplicas": 1,
    "startCommand": "python src/faerymarket/manage.py migrate && python src/faerymarket/manage.py collectstatic --noinput --clear && bin/uwsgi --ini=src/faerymarket/api.ini",
    "healthcheckPath": "health/",
    "sleepApplication": false,
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
  }
}
{
  "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "NIXPACKS",
    "nixpacksPlan": {
      "phases": {
        "setup": {
          "aptPkgs": ["...", "libtiff5-dev" , "libjpeg-dev", "libopenjp2-7-dev", "zlib1g-dev", "libfreetype6-dev", "liblcms2-dev", "libwebp-dev", "libharfbuzz-dev", "libfribidi-dev", "libxcb1-dev"]
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "deploy": {
    "numReplicas": 1,
    "startCommand": "python src/faerymarket/manage.py migrate && python src/faerymarket/manage.py collectstatic --noinput --clear && bin/uwsgi --ini=src/faerymarket/api.ini",
    "healthcheckPath": "health/",
    "sleepApplication": false,
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
  }
}
The custom build command is: 
python -m pip install .
python -m pip install .
This all works fine with the exception of the inability to import the image library. My best guess, because I'm only partway though a lot of the docs, is that perhaps the setup phase packages aren't included in the final image layer? Does anyone have any ideas I could try?
