Product name for linux targets takes from app/package.json, cant change it dynamically

[verget]

• Version: 17.1.2
• Target: deb

In case of linux data for builds names takes from app/package.json "name" and "version" values unlike of mac and window, where it coming from root package.json. So I can't dynamically change build name like for nsis, for example "build --config.productName=Example"

Where incorrect name is used?

[verget]

it's used for build naming, so my example "build --config.productName=Example" - will create on windows build with name "Example-{version}.exe" but on linux it will be "{name-from-app/package.json}-{version}.deb"

By intention. According to Linux convention. See also #775.

[verget]

Is there some way for dynamically add custom string to linux build names without "app/package.json" change? Im looking for a way to marker my builds depending on git branch from which it made. (dev, prod etc)
