Hello Daniel I really appreciate your message
I completely understand what you are saying about the program not being very useful for Debian, it has few functions but I hope to expand it later. Regarding the tarball and the binary included in the package, I will solve it as soon as possible. This error is because I am new to the world of free software and it took me a long time to get to this point since I have done everything self-taught, breaking my brain reading forums on the web.
