We're not going back to the 1990s. If you're willing to unpackage the debs as a simple binary you copy around, could you not just repackage as a click so others can install the tool? When snap support comes to the mobile flavour of Ubuntu, then that's an even better choice . By the way, we're working on a successor to the Terminal App that should make this much easier to snap/click things like mc. - -- Stephen M.
