fyi, the repo itself has all the info needed to make a proper deb

https://gitlab.com/volian/nala/-/tree/main/debian

also it might be worthwhile to contact the maintainers (who are very active on this new project) and just ask them to make a universal deb, its all python after all

Since there seems to be all the necessary files to create a deb (the software is already "debianized"), you should be able to create one with the following commands (not tested yet)

sudo apt install devscripts equivs -y
git clone https://gitlab.com/volian/nala && cd nala
sudo mk-build-deps -i debian/control
sudo rm -f ./nala-build-deps*.deb
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc
