Ensure you have the package building tools installed on your development system: how to convert exe to deb
Directly converting a .exe file to a .deb file is because they serve completely different purposes in different operating systems. An .exe (Executable) is a binary file designed for Windows, while a .deb (Debian Package) is an installation archive for Debian-based Linux distributions like Ubuntu.
