No description provided.

The resulting deb files inside the "target" directory are not ignored by Git,
therefore the output of "git status" is not clean since there are untracked
changes.

Everything under the "target" directory should be ignored, hence adding a
".gitignore" file for it. Also, the ".gitkeep" file is no longer necessary since
the "target" directory will not be empty thanks to the ".gitignore" file we have
added.
Hard coding versions in the README makes it harder to maintain, since every time
the default versions change in the build script you need to remember to update
the README.

Instead, refer to the source where those versions are defined.
For those users who have both Docker and Podman installed, Docker will be used
by default unless the new "-e" option is used to specify which container engine
to use.

For those users who only have Podman installed, the script will use it without
having to specify a container engine.
Alacritty builds just fine for the arm64 architecture, and the Debian build
tools are smart enough to detect the architecture of the host machine and build
the deb packages only for that architecture.

@barnumbirr , sorry about the push force I did after creating the PR. I had to fix some typos in a commit message.

The PR is now ready for review. Thanks.

@vincent-olivert-riera my bad, I completely forgot about this. Thank you for proposing your changes however I'm not sure I want to merge them:
The proposed changes don't improve how the packages are built from a Github Actions point of view.

There's also an ongoing effort to create an actual Action for building Debian packages making all the shell scripts in this repository obsolete.
