Research direction

Start with the sync_versions script introduced in issue #41 and inspect how it currently reads and updates version data from the SDW repository. Trace the existing Fedora Salt variable handling, then determine the corresponding Debian source; done means both Fedora and Debian versions are fetched and updated automatically.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should expand the sync_versions script that landed in #41 to also fetch + update Fedora + Debian versions out of the SDW repo. The Fedora version already has a dedicated Salt variable that we can regex out, we may want to do the same for Debian too.
