    Maybe I’m just old school and distro package means something different to me, but here is a link to the Home Assistant .deb distro package:

      the Home Assistant .deb distro package

      Firstly, that’s a .deb but it’s not from a distro. Secondly, that .deb doesn’t contain Home Assistant, it contains some “Supervised” which runs the Home Assistant Docker container:
