Hey Ho, it would be nice to have amd64|arm64 .deb packages as assets on the release pages, right now we only have the bare binaries and source code.

Ideally we would also provide a repository that contains release .deb artifacts rather than nightly .deb builds
(or ideally both, one repo with "just" release artifacts and one with a few nightlies.

P.S. Refer to #1359 which is where the discussion started.

Release packages are already in a different component to dev packages

Ahh, that is interesting, when I go to the release page and click debian packages I end up on a pagethat only describes the "dev" component and lists nightlies.

Addmittedly, our install guidelines do describe the stable component repository already (https://continuwuity.org/deploying/debian.html#installation), so perhaps the release text should link to that place?

After discussion with @jade: THere is a "stable" component which only contains releases, e.g. https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/-/packages/debian/continuwuity/0.5.6, but when I click the "debian packages" link on a release page, I end up with a page ONLY describing the "dev" component and offering nightly packages. So, making the release text link to the specific release package would be a great improvement already.
