Research direction
Review the existing build system in the repository, likely using Makefile or scripts. Investigate how goreleaser is currently configured (if any) and what hook points exist for creating .deb and .rpm packages. Look at the GoReleaser documentation for nfpm integration. Consider starting with a single package manager (e.g., deb) and testing locally before expanding.
