Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's release and distribution configuration; the issue does not name a source file, package definition, or test. Determine whether apt packaging belongs in this repository or an external Docker packaging workflow, then confirm that installation provides compose-switch and the required alternatives behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Any reason why compose-switch is an outlier in terms of not being able to be apt install'd?

Would be really great if we could install it just like docker-ce and docker-compose-plugin instead of having to manually download the binary, update-alternatives, etc.
