Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Jellyfin-media-player is a lot better than using a web browser and packages are available for Debian and Ubuntu which is great. But it would be even easier to install and update if these packages were added to an apt repository.

Describe the solution you'd like The Jellyfin project already has existing repositories for Debian and Ubuntu for the server packages, so it would be perfect if these could also be used to distribute the client. And jellyfin-media-player is listed as the official desktop client for Jellyfin on the jellyfin.org website.

Is there are reason why you wouldn't want to use the flatpak version? In my experience it works well and updating it is easy.

Why use flatpak when Debian packages are already built ? It is another package manager to install, it duplicates the dependencies and it adds another source of updates to check. Flatpak can be useful, but here everything needed for a better user experience (debian packaging and repositories) is already there.
