// You might be wondering why this file is necessary. It comes down to our desire to allow
//   side-by-side installation of production and beta builds. Electron-Builder uses
//   top-level data from package.json for many things, like the executable name, the
//   debian package name, the install directory under /opt on linux, etc. We tried
//   adding the ${channel} macro to these values, but Electron-Builder didn't like that.
