  1. Add a release job

Automatically create a GitHub release with attached Debian packages, whenever a tag starting with 'mr' is pushed.

Generate release notes grouped by author from git commits between the previous mr* tag and the current tag, similar to the format used in debian/changelog.

  1. Automatically generate Debian packages for PRs

This is useful for contributors as well as developers, to test and verify proposed changes.

  1. Consolidate Debian package workflows

Merge debpkg.yml into package-build.yml using a matrix strategy for building on multiple Debian distributions (trixie, sid), using jtdor/build-deb-action instead of custom Docker actions.

Now our release job merges artifacts from all distros.

  1. Update from bookworm to trixie

Bump Debian package builds from bookworm to trixie, while at it, given that Debian trixie/v13 is the current stable Debian release.

  1. Bump workflow actions from in package build workflow

Update from v4 to current version v6, see https://github.com/actions/checkout

Note, please do not merge this yet, I'm trying to consolidate our GitHub actions and further improve this :)
