Better Installation Instructions For Debian Packages #36992

Description

@TheBrokenRail

Feature Description

Right now, the Debian package registry auto-generates installation instructions for the user to follow. In theory, this allows end-users to easy install Debian packages.

The issue is that script contains $distribution $component which the user must manually replace with information from the "Repository Info" section. This is very un-intuitive, especially for users who are used to just copying the instructions into the terminal.

My suggestion is to add drop-down menus above the script for the distribution and component. The values of these menus would then be used to fill in the generated script.
