The inherited debian/ tooling was removed rather than fixed (#42): its
build script cloned a repository that does not exist, and there is no way to
test a Debian package anyway -- CI runs on Arch only, matching the platform
the maintainer tests on.

Bringing Debian support back properly means:

  • a package build that works from the working tree (debhelper or dpkg-deb)
  • a CI job on a Debian container that installs the package and runs the test
    suite, mirroring the existing Arch job
  • reviewing the inherited maintainer scripts (postinst/prerm assumed
    upstream qomui's layout) rather than restoring them verbatim

Related: #19 -- the root self-updater's dpkg -i branch assumes Debian
packages exist, and that issue already names distro packaging as the correct
update path. Whatever replaces the self-updater should treat this package as
the Debian update channel. The README advertises a Debian install only once
this lands.
