Why flagged

Installs a prebuilt binary .deb from fluxkeyboard.com (a vendor domain, plausibly official), but it is a 'dev build' channel with a versioned URL that could be silently swapped; the bundled udev.rules has a SKIP'd checksum, though that file is non-executed data. The main concern is the prebuilt executable from a non-mainstream update channel rather than the project's primary release infrastructure, making it unverifiable beyond the sha256 on the .deb itself.

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, …).
