The apt repository hosted on GitHub Pages only contained Packages and Packages.gz, causing apt-get update to emit noisy "Ign" and "Err 404" warnings for the missing InRelease, Release, and Translation-en files.

While the install still succeeded (due to [trusted=yes] and Packages being present), these errors are confusing for users and make it look like something is broken.

Generate a proper Release file via apt-ftparchive and add an empty Translation-en to satisfy apt's metadata expectations.
