Description

I'd like to self-host, but I'm probably going to forget to update this occasionally due to the effort involved. A launchpad PPA would make it as easy as running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade whenever I want to update KeeWeb.

Research direction
Research existing Launchpad PPAs for similar Electron apps to understand the setup process. Examine KeeWeb's build process and dependencies to determine how to create a .deb package. Look into tools like 'debuild' or 'dh make' and review the KeeWeb repository for any existing packaging scripts or CI configurations that could be adapted.
