Debian based apt package is fully deprecated (currently v1.8)

Describe the request

It would be awesome for me as an Ubuntu (and Debian) user to also get the current IDE version v2.3.4 via apt.

Describe the current behavior

Hey there,
today I wanted to download Ardurino IDE on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS notebook.
Currently, the download is possible via sudo apt install ardurino , but only for the may very old version v1.8, as you can see here:

:~$ apt-cache policy arduino
arduino:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: 2:1.8.19+dfsg1-1 # Default version to install
  Versionstabelle: # available versions
     2:1.8.19+dfsg1-1 500 # v1.8.19
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages
     2:1.8.13+dfsg1-2 -10 # v1.8.13
        -10 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages

Additional to that, v.1.8 is not looking very compatible to my system (hard java logging) and I am not sure if it will work with the ardurino that well.

And as a real terminal friend, I do not prefer to use appimages (even if it looks like that it should work)

TL;DR/to sum up: could you please add v2.3.4 to apt instead of stay with 1.8 in apt list? I would really appreciate that! Thanks already!
