Feature description

#516 and related seems to have removed publishing .deb releases to MSFT apt lists for things like Ubuntu, Debian, etc.

Without this, one cannot simply do apt install git-credential-manager for instance (e.g., after adding the appropriate sources).

As that is the preferred mode of install for several use cases (e.g., to avoid bloated and unnecessary dotnet dependencies), this leaves users with hand rolled scripts to install an unsigned package that has no "latest" version or regular updates.

This can lead to security concerns of its own in addition to any it is trying to mitigate by, for instance, acting as a replacement for ssh authentication.

Please consider adding support for this standard installation method back into the mix.

Thanks!
