Dear Signal's presidency

May you consider priority to get client published to f-droid (or debian):

Meanwhile I'll recommend freedom lovers to use matrix|XMPP|IRC (which can be also used on web or linux computer)

Freely yours

Can't you install Signal without an App store? Directly via apk?
Yes, and it checks for updates by itself (though that's still more cumbersome than it being managed by F-Droid of course): https://signal.org/android/apk/
yes that's something I'd like to avoid... because it hasn't been rebuilt from source (and audited)
