Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current installation method in Debian is to grab the binaries from the release and then place it in /usr/bin or $HOME/.local/bin. It also involves manually creating a desktop file. It would be nice to have an installable .deb package.

Describe the solution you'd like
GitHub action can be utilized to generate a .deb package with the release -- for both x86_64 and arm64

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative is to download and extract the binaries and place them appropriately, and to place the icon manually and to create a .desktop file.

Additional context
AFAIK, it just requires creating a debian/ folder. After that, github actions should be able to take care of everything. I can give this a try.
