Support for deb auto-updating is experimental in Electron Builder (it has only recently been introduced). However, on WSL at least, after downloading the update and telling the user to re-launch, an attempt is made to install the update, but nothing in fact happens. On re-launching the app, it is not updated. It detects the download succeeded correctly, and again tells the user to re-launch to update the app.

While this should be fixed in Electron Builder, we could either block the autoupdate download, or else instruct users on how to install the downloaded file manually.
