Description
Similar to how an RPM spec exists in the packaging directory today, I'd like to have creating Debian packages be part of each master build. I really like the way I have it setup for Red Hat based distributions to also produce a couple of container images, and to use those to build the actual binary and source packages.
The hope is to make it super trivial for folks who don't have Go installed on their Debian/Ubuntu systems, or don't want to build this project from source to try the project.
To call this item complete, we should be able to build both source and binary packages as part of each Azure DevOps build.

Research direction
Start by reading packaging/redhat/baronial.spec and tracing how the existing Red Hat packages and container images are produced in the Azure DevOps build. Define the Debian packaging steps for the project’s master builds, then verify that each build produces both source and binary Debian packages.
