Add .deb package support using DKMS to handle install, uninstall, upgrade, and version control of Qualcomm USB kernel drivers on Debian/Ubuntu systems. New files: - debian/: Full Debian packaging (control, rules, changelog, maintainer scripts) - build-deb.sh: Build script that syncs version from version.h - dkms.conf: DKMS configuration for 4 kernel modules Features: - Builds qtiDevInf, qcom_usb, qcom_usbnet, qcom-serial via DKMS - Auto-rebuilds modules on kernel updates - Blacklists conflicting in-tree modules (qcserial, qmi_wwan, etc.) - Detects and removes conflicting userspace drivers (deb package, /opt/qcom/qcom_userspace, /opt/qcom/QUD, /opt/QTI/QUD, qcom-qud.service) - Cleans up pre-existing manual installs before installation - Installs udev rules for device permissions - Loads modules immediately after installation Updated: - README.md: Added deb package as recommended Linux install method - src/linux/README.md: Added deb package documentation - src/linux/version.h: Version 1.0.6.1 Signed-off-by: Hang Zhao <259427778+hangzqcom@users.noreply.github.com>

The Conflicts and Replaces fields referenced non-existent package names (qcom-usb-userspace-drivers, qcom-usb-userspace-drivers-dkms). Fixed to use the actual installed package name: qcom-usb-userspace-driver. This enables apt to automatically resolve the mutual exclusion between kernel-mode and userspace driver packages during cross-installation.

QdssMdm is not a driver.
Gobiserial is not in used. User can build it for internal use-case. we are not building it via QcDevDriver.sh script.
and currently we are not using QcDevDriver.sh script as well.
