I'd rather see packagers spend their effort elsewhere as keeping browsers up to date is a big undertaking as already mentioned with Librewolf in #980

The current way of installing should not be too complicated for those that need the features specific to Mullvad Browser.

Mullvad is also planning on a official flatpak version for those that want a one-click install.
