Maintainer Notes

The APT repository is published from tag builds to the gh-pages branch and is signed with the following GitHub Actions secrets:

• APT_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: ASCII-armored private key used to sign Release
• APT_GPG_KEY_ID: key ID or fingerprint for the signing key
• APT_GPG_PASSPHRASE: passphrase for the private key, if any

GitHub Pages should be configured to serve the gh-pages branch from the repository root.
