• Initial plan
• Add native DEB package builder and remove fpm dependency
• Fix New-NativeDeb function: handle symlinks and control file format
• Remove Get-FpmArguments function and all fpm references
• Address code review feedback:
  • Use cp command directly from PowerShell instead of bash
  • Use dpkg-deb directly from PowerShell instead of bash
  • Replace find commands with Get-ChildItem -Directory and Get-ChildItem -File
  • Add comments explaining file permission meanings (755, 644)
  • Install dpkg on Mariner for DEB package building
  • Add DEB package validation tests to test/packaging/linux/package-validation.tests.ps1
  • Install azurelinux-repos-extended before dpkg on Mariner
• Fix DEB packaging CI errors:
  • Fix control file description format (multi-line descriptions must have leading space)
  • Exclude symlinks from chmod to avoid "cannot operate on dangling symlink" error
  • Fix wildcard expansion in cp command using bash
• Code cleanup:
  • Remove unnecessary else block for extendedDescription
  • Simplify cp commands to use native wildcard expansion
  • Add verbose logging for directory paths during package building
  • Remove duplicate comments in Test-Dependencies function
  • Use Write-LogGroup function from build.psm1 to avoid code duplication
  • Wrap all native commands (chmod, cp, dpkg-deb) with Start-NativeExecution
  • Use -VerboseOutputOnError switch for dpkg-deb instead of manual error handling
  • Remove fpm installation code and Install-GlobalGem function (no longer needed after native packaging)
• Fix package validation tests:
  • Update DEB regex to match actual package names (e.g., powershell-preview_7.6.0-preview.6-1.deb_amd64.deb)
  • Make DEB, RPM, and Tar.Gz tests fail when no packages found instead of skipping
