User story

As a developer, I want this to work, so that I can go to sleep.

Game

Multi Theft Auto

Linux distro

Other

Command

command: install

Further information

Went to install the MTA game server on Debian13 Trixie and the apt deps for it are incorrect. You do have an apt deps list for debian13 so assumed debian13 was supported?

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/refs/heads/master/lgsm/data/debian-13.csv
But I see cannot select it as an distro option from bug report selection. Dear sirs, please make fix so I can continue to do the game servering.
