You happen to have cmake or autotools installed, others happen to have cargo installed. Once cargo/cmake/autotools/make/npm/mvn/setup.py/whatever runs, the process of taking the output and packaging it for your preferred distro is the same. There's more work involved if you want a distro to actually pick it up and include it in their repos around not using static linking, but if you're asking for a .deb/.rpm on github actions, that's not needed.
