Action Summary

This GitHub Action automates the process of building Debian .deb packages for various architectures and Debian releases. It creates both source and binary packages, placing the outputs in a designated directory. By streamlining the Debian package build process, it simplifies workflows for developers targeting multiple architectures or requiring consistent, reproducible package builds.

What’s Changed

  • Fix running dpkg as root
  • Added lintian to the Docker image
  • Added lintian_check option to run lintian on the built package
  • Added fail_on_lintian_error option to control whether a lintian failure fails the action (default: true, only applies when lintian_check is true)
  • Include major version in Docker image tags (e.g. bookworm-v1) so images from prior major releases remain available after a version bump
