Re: why package Signal in Debian? (was Re: Bug#1113746: ITP: node-noop6 -- No operation as a module using an arrow function)

To my knowledge, no one has ever successfully packaged signal-desktop.
Even the Flatpak build script just downloads the binaries from
signal.org and unpacks the DEB file.

https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal/blob/master/org.signal.Signal.yaml#L73

Same for the ebuild in Gentoo Linux.

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-im/signal-desktop-bin/signal-desktop-bin-7.67.0.ebuild

For this reason, I refuse to install Signal desktop on my machines.
