There is indeed a Debian app in the Windows store, the owner is not
Microsoft but "The Debian Project".

This must be installed manually, and it does do things I don't want, like
installing it to the list of installed apps.

I'm looking for a possibility to install it with a script,
myproject-install.cmd, below how it works with Ubuntu but I prefer Debian.

set wsl=d:\wsl
set image=
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar.gz

curl %image% --output "%wsl%\image.tar.gz"
wsl --import myproject "%wsl%\myproject" "%wsl%\image.tar.gz"
