I think that is not correct. My pi hasn't even got the graphical
interface installed so I couldn't use gdebi. You can instead use the
command line alternative
sudo dpkg -i path/to/file.deb
then if there are dependency errors
sudo apt-get install -f
which should install anything else needed.

It's actually gdebi-core that needs to be installed. See the
instructions that I referenced at
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_build.html
I'm using Pi Zeros with Raspbian Lite, headless. So no GUI here either.
I used the instructions on that page verbatim:
wget https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/{deb package name}
sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi {deb package name}

OK, understood, I see I was wrong in thinking that gdebi was purely a
graphical app, thanks for the useful information. It remains true,
however, that it is not necessary to use gdebi (though that is a
perfectly acceptable, and arguably better, way) it can be done just
using dpkg.

I wasn't asking about how to install a deb package.
I was asking about the availability of deb packages for buster. Other
than the 4.1.1 version.
