Hi! I'm a Debian Developer and packaged this project for Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/robotframework

Here I've documented that robotframework can also be installed natively on Debian-based systems using apt.

Robot Framework is now officially packaged for Debian and can be
installed with `apt install python3-robot`. Add a short note to the
README and a dedicated section to INSTALL.rst next to the pip and
source instructions.
