Why flagged

The package installs a prebuilt binary .deb from GitHub releases, which is an unverifiable executable artifact that could be silently swapped by a malicious actor; while the project appears legitimate, the use of a non-whitelisted host for a prebuilt executable constitutes a supply-chain risk.
