Why is warning: This command is for Linux only, and will not make sense when run on other systems #33

Why is this cargo plugin only supposed to work on Linux? I am not familiar with how the Debian packaging system works, but cant it be made cross-platform? Ofc I mean being able to generate a Debian package on any platform to be clear.

Is there even a way to make that happen? If so I would be happy to help

Also I cannot seem to find information about it in the readme (although I just might be blind), so it should be added

You got this error message, because you've created a package without cross-compilation, so your package theoretically works on your non-Linux system, but is incompatible with Linux.

Use --target.

That makes sense finally, 🙏😅
