.deb would be a question for your distro. :)

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Flatpak could be an option, but
as already rightfully pointed out Flatpak has its own limitations (see

Pros and cons; reluctance of folks to learn something new, lack of a
top-down culture to enforce migrations with a social buy-in process
(capacity for discussion leading etc), lack of folks leading that push.

(Very simplified list. Things might change when someone steps up, e.g.
the GNOME project kind of migrated from Bugzilla to Gitlab, or from SVN
to Git a long time ago after a good inclusive evaluation process [1].)
