Provide Debian package in Releases

[clintfred]

If a debian package were provided, rust-script could be easily installed/uninstalled on Debian-based systems.

One approach might be to use the excellent cargo-deb

It just worked out of the box for me.

rust-script git:main  
❯ cargo deb
   Compiling version_check v0.9.4
   ...
   Compiling toml v0.7.6
   Compiling rust-script v0.34.0 (/workspace/rust-script)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 22.41s
/workspace/rust-script/target/debian/rust-script_0.34.0_amd64.deb

rust-script git:main  23s
❯ cd target/debian 

rust-script/target/debian git:main  
❯ ls
rust-script_0.34.0_amd64.deb  rust-script.tmp0-stripped
                                                                                                                                                                                              
rust-script/target/debian git:main  
❯ sudo apt install -f ./rust-script_0.34.0_amd64.deb

Hello world

I have good luck combining this with cross to build debians for various OS/arch/libc triples.

Would like to see a debian package provided as well.
