Package Request: YouTube Music Desktop Application

I would like to request YouTube Music Desktop Application be build for native installation. Google Music Desktop Player has been great but the team is leaning towards pointing users to this project. Currently, this project supports YouTube Music better than GPMD does. Unfortunately, this project is only providing snap and appimage for linux. I have tried to build the source using Electron Wrapper but my knowledge is limited.
This project is located here:
https://github.com/ytmdesktop/ytmdesktop

Meanwhile you can look at Freetube and GTK Youtube viewer

These are not acceptable as they do not use just YouTube Music. They are just YouTube clients which don't use my subscription likes or dislikes etc. For now, I will use the appimage but it's just not the same.

The best that can be done is to just wrap the Electron app in a deb file with some extras if necessary, like a desktop file. Usually, that's not much better than using the AppImage, which also wraps up the Electron app.
