Hi maintainers, could you please approve this? electron-installer-debian is currently making packages that are not installable in Debian.

Hey @malept, can you please review and merge? This has been open far too long!

same here, our electron packages are unusable under debian when building on ubuntu 22.04.

For anyone who's looking for a workaround/alternative in the meantime, I've developed two packages to create .deb installers: electron-deboa-maker, which is a maker for electron-forge, and deboa, which is the core package (integrating it into build pipelines that don't use electron-forge should be straighforward).

They both work on Windows/Linux/macOS, no fakeroot/dpkg needed, and provide compression in tar/tar.gz/xz formats, among other features.

Closed in favor of #342 - sorry, CI was stuck here and I could only get it to run on a new PR, but gave you co-author credit on the commit. Thanks for contributing this! 🙇‍♀️
