Problem: debian/package.sh clones a repository that does not exist, so
the Debian packaging has been unbuildable since the rename (#42). Fixing it
would produce a package nothing can verify: CI tests on Arch only, matching
the platform the fork is developed and tested on.

Fix: Remove debian/ outright. Real Debian support -- a build that works
from the working tree, a Debian CI job mirroring the Arch one, reviewed
maintainer scripts -- is tracked as #44, which also ties into #19's point that
distro packages are the correct update channel for the root service.

Verification: Pure deletion of the four debian/ files. The only other
tracked reference to the Debian process was the self-updater's dpkg -i
branch, which is #19's subject and untouched here; the README already stopped
advertising Debian packages in #43.

Closes #42.

The debian/ build script clones a repository that does not exist, so
the packaging has been unbuildable since the rename -- and nothing can
verify a fix, since CI tests on Arch only, matching the platform the
fork is developed on. Remove the dead process instead of patching it;
proper Debian support, including the CI job it needs, is #44.
