Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt Debian package from a non-standard host (labs.picotech.com) which is not on the whitelist; while likely legitimate, the unverifiable binary payload from a non-official download domain presents a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or redirected.

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, …).
