Remove Debian (.deb) packaging and APT repository - #320
Merged
Conversation
Drop the hosted APT repo and committed .deb pool (~111 MB), stop building .deb release artifacts in CI, and remove the apt-only install-surface telemetry hook. Linux users install via install.sh, release tarballs, or Homebrew instead. Co-authored-by: Zhe Li <linuxcity.jn@gmail.com>

Resolve docs/getting-started.md: keep APT removal note; drop main's restored APT install section (main only bumped version examples there). Co-authored-by: Zhe Li <linuxcity.jn@gmail.com>
Keep dpm/install_surface, the hidden _record-install-surface CLI hook, and related tests after removing Debian packaging. Docs describe the generic package-manager hook path without restoring APT install steps. Co-authored-by: Zhe Li <linuxcity.jn@gmail.com>
