Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-whitelisted host (launchpadcontent.net), which is an unverifiable executable binary; if the source were swapped, it could deliver malicious code during installation.

Triggered rules

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
