[docs-scanner] Debian install page incorrectly references RPM package instead of DEB #24687

@docker-agent

Description

@docker-agent

File: content/manuals/desktop/setup/install/linux/debian.md

Issue

Line 63 incorrectly states "The RPM package includes a post-install script" when describing the Debian installation:

The RPM package includes a post-install script that completes additional setup steps automatically.

Debian uses DEB packages, not RPM packages. The installation instructions correctly use apt-get install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb, but the post-install script description references the wrong package format.

Why this matters

A reader installing Docker Desktop on Debian would be confused by the reference to "RPM package" when they just installed a DEB package. This creates doubt about whether they're following the correct instructions or if the documentation applies to their system.

Suggested fix

Change line 63 from:

The RPM package includes a post-install script that completes additional setup steps automatically.

To:

The DEB package includes a post-install script that completes additional setup steps automatically.

This matches the correct wording used in the Ubuntu installation page (ubuntu.md line 66).
