Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt .deb from a non-standard host (express.ms) which is not a common upstream for open-source projects, posing a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised or unrelated to the official project.

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, …).
