OpenVSP actually provides DEBs for Ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04:

Hello @Symbian9 please ask the autors of OpenVSP to provide an officially supported AppImage. Thanks!

please ask the autors of OpenVSP to provide an officially supported AppImage.

Already requested, but its devs provides only Ubuntu 18.x/20.x DEB's (which could not be installed on Debian 10.x/11.x)

• Setup Travis CI for build AppImage (portable binary package for Linux) OpenVSP/OpenVSP#130 (comment)

If they come back asking for an AppImage, I would still like to understand why -- what is the underlying use case that they can't 1) build it themselves 2) use the Ubuntu *.deb or 3) the only solution to their problem is an AppImage 4) They can't build the AppImage themselves.

Building from source is too hard, so the only alternative solution for non-Ubuntu users is just repackage DEB to AppImage.

That is why I want requests recipe to repackage its official DEB's to AppIamge to be able to run it on Debian 10.x/11.x (as there are no OpenVSP in any official Debian-based repos: https://repology.org/project/openvsp/versions)
