Research direction
First, review the Theia build scripts in the repository (e.g., the 'scripts' directory and any packaging related files). Examine existing packaging for other platforms (e.g., Linux, Windows) to understand the process. Investigate Chromebook's Linux container (Crostini) to determine the best packaging format (e.g., .deb, AppImage). Check the comments on this issue for any previous discussion or suggestions.
