Default Now the DEBs are Debian compatible, will they continue to do so?

After installing the brand new update 6.1.1 onto Debian 12 using the well-known workaround, I noticed it installs DEB packages and adds an APT source to the system.

Diffing the installer scripts (displaylink-installer.sh) showed this direct use of the Ubuntu DEBs was introduced between 6.1 and 6.1.1.

I then went ahead and just straight up followed the Ubuntu APT instructions on a Debian 12 test VM. I have not had the ability to test on actual hardware so far, but the packages do install, the evdi dkms is in place and does get signed by our platform key for secure boot.

Are Synaptics moving towards Debian support via APT, or is this just a happy coincidence?
