Research direction
Start by checking the latest Element handbook instructions for adding a Debian distribution. Then update debian/conf/distributions and debian/conf/incoming in pkg-repo-configs, plus scripts-dev/build_debian_packages.py in Synapse, while preserving existing distributions. Done means Ubuntu 27.04 package-building support is configured across both repositories.
