Flatpak works well but pulls a multi-GB GNOME runtime even for a lightweight app like this, which is a real pain point for users who only want Hidamari. I put together a native .deb build using the existing meson.build (no changes to the build logic itself, just wires debhelper's meson buildsystem on top), tested working on Ubuntu 24.04.
Working prototype here: https://github.com/uzairdeveloper223/hidamari
Happy to open a PR adding a debian/ directory at the repo root if you're interested in carrying this upstream, otherwise I'm fine maintaining it as a separate community package. Let me know which you'd prefer.
