New package language-debian to support new Debian packaging language server

[ottok]

Niels Thykier has published a Language Server for Debian packaging files: https://people.debian.org/~nthykier/blog/2024/language-server-support-debian-control.html

I would like to use this with Pulsar. Does it require that I create a new package, or can I configure the file pattern (debian/rules, debian/control) and LSP settings just directly somewhere?

I am an experienced programmer and I can create and maintain the package. I just need to be nudged in the right direction of what the structure should be.

The tool itself provides copy-paste config for Vim:

# debputy lsp editor-config vim 
# debputy lsp server glue for vim with vim-youcompleteme. Add to ~/.vimrc
#
# Requires: apt install vim-youcompleteme

# Make vim recognize debputy.manifest as YAML file
au BufNewFile,BufRead debputy.manifest          setf yaml
# Inform vim/ycm about the debputy LSP
# - NB: No known support for debian/tests/control that we can hook into.
#   Feel free to provide one :)
let g:ycm_language_server = [
  \   { 'name': 'debputy',
  \     'filetypes': [ 'debcontrol', 'debcopyright', 'debchangelog', 'make', 'yaml'],
  \     'cmdline': [ 'debputy', 'lsp', 'server' ]
  \   },
  \ ]

packadd! youcompleteme
# Add relevant ycm keybinding such as:
# nmap <leader>d <plug>(YCMHover)

I got advice on Discord that this kind of thing indeed needs a new Pulsar package, and that I should look at https://github.com/savetheclocktower/pulsar-ide-typescript-alpha/blob/main/lib/main.js#L33-L70, which in turn build upon https://github.com/savetheclocktower/atom-languageclient.
