Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1905

What happened?

building from the latest current repo unable to properly create a complete deb installation package. As it currently stand building with the current debian build files only some of the files in share get added to the debian install package and none of the binaries (under Ubuntu which is what i was using at the time).

Version

From Git HEAD or commit (specify below)

Git commit hash (if applicable)

HEAD

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

git master repo self compiled

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Linux

What OS versions are you using?

UBUNTU 22.10

Relevant log output

No response

Any other information

Here's a patch to fix the issue.

Used this to build/create the debian installer package

gbp buildpackage --git-submodules -b -uc --git-export-dir="latest" --git-no-create-orig --git-ignore-new

or this also worked

git submodule update --init --recursive
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc

Patch for it here since i have a pending unrelated PR waiting and can't upload a new PR and don't want them mixed together
