Add Debian desktop packaging support

[IsraelAraujo70]

Summary

• add a dedicated dist:desktop:deb command
• include the Debian metadata electron-builder requires for .deb packaging
• publish .deb artifacts from the desktop release workflow alongside AppImage builds

Validation

• bun run dist:desktop:deb -- --skip-build
• bun run lint
• bun run typecheck

Closes #543

Note

Add Linux x64 Debian desktop packaging and publish .deb artifacts via CI in release.yml

Add a Linux x64 deb target to the CI matrix and release uploads, introduce npm run dist:desktop:deb, and inject homepage, structured author, and Linux maintainer metadata in scripts/build-desktop-artifact.ts.

📍Where to Start

Start with buildDesktopArtifact and BuildMetadataConfig in scripts/build-desktop-artifact.ts, then review the CI matrix and artifact upload changes in release.yml.

Keep Linux updater metadata from being overwritten

Adding a second Linux matrix target (deb) introduces another producer of latest*.yml, but the workflow only disambiguates macOS metadata before uploading and later merges all artifacts into one directory, so when both Linux builds emit latest-linux.yml one will overwrite the other and the published Linux update metadata can reference the wrong installer type. Please disambiguate Linux update metadata filenames (or avoid merging same-named files) before release publication.
