We only use GNU\Linux for our work, i see there is .deb, are they
integrated in official debian repositories (stable) ?

We avoid tools not Libre and not package by default in debian. (with few
exeptions) 

And for what i see it's using C# and Microsoft not really play
integration by putting stuff on their side instead of working with the
GNU community (but it's just my opinion).
