Bug Description
The +adddownloadfile page for adding a file to a release has 'Installer File' as an option, which leads people to upload binary .deb packages. These packages are not filtered & can be added to a release.

While uploading a deb file may not always be the right thing to do, is it always the wrong thing to do? I imagine "Installer file" was meant to refer to installlers such as the .exe and .msi installers found on Windows, so its existence as an option does seem legitimate.
