ci: install nfpm via direct binary download instead of apt

larkly · larkly · commit a3f9058a5dc5 · 2026-03-28T20:21:08.000+01:00
Replace the PPA-based apt-get install with a direct binary download
from GitHub Releases. Resolves the latest version automatically,
avoids apt-get update overhead, and removes the hardcoded PPA config.
