Get APT Package version

This is a Github Action to find a candidate APT package version in Ubuntu/Debian systems.

Why

You want to create an Ubuntu/Debian-based container image for some package, which already exists in an APT repository (either in the official repos, or some third party PPA repo).

You can use this Action to find the latest version of that package that is applicable to your Ubuntu/Debian base image version, so that you can tag the image accordingly.
