Consolidates validated fixes for current Arch Linux while preserving contributor authorship where possible.

Merged into this branch:

Audited but intentionally not imported:

Confirmed current blockers recorded as patches pending direct source application/testing:

  • patches/0001-fix-pkgfile-26-cache-detection.patch fixes the pkgfile 26 <repo>.files cache layout
  • patches/0002-use-ubuntu-meta-release.patch replaces brittle packages.ubuntu.com HTML scraping with Ubuntu's machine-readable stable-release metadata

The dependency/version translator problem exposed by the ChatGPT .deb conversion is still under investigation and should be fixed rather than hidden with --wipeout.

Do not merge to master until the two maintenance patches are applied to debtap and tested on current Arch.

If no command is specified, fakeroot will default to using whatever
login shell the user has. In my case, this is nushell, which breaks
the heredoc script piped into fakeroot.
Use bash explicitly inside fakeroot
Document missing runtime dependencies
Handle quoted case selector in postinst parsing
