First, thanks for creating this tool.

From what I understand how this tool works, it gets the dependencies and the software that's packaged in the AppImage from the distribution repositories, it's straightforward however I'm a little confused as to how I can create an AppImage of software that is not in the distribution repositories.

For example, I want to create an AppImage of this software: https://github.com/mauikit/index

There's a deb package here:

And its dependencies are these:

The main problem as I mention is that I'm not sure how to add these external dependencies to the JSON configuration file.
