As a matter of fact, downloading the binaries is totally useless unless:
- you create your own file repository (as I have been doing in past)
- add the file repo reference to your /etc/apt/sources.list

If you do not know how to do that, just do as Lee told you to:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/master/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:master/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_master.gpg > /dev/null
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install gambas3

Make sure not to have any debian not ubuntu official gambas3 installed as if will mess up your install.
Remove these first, the use wrong packages names and will conflict with current build binaries

I guess it will be no different for openSuse etc if they have same issue in their official repositories

FYI:
It doesn't work from local .deb because install tools are not aware of the other downloaded .deb packages in the folder. That is the actual issue here.
For that they need to be made into a for debian recognizable repository first, and next told in sources.list where that folder is, do a reload (apt-get update) and then, install tools know how to get to the rest of your downloaded .deb archives and installs them.

I'm glad to see people testing. I took a few days free of packaging, testing packages and vm's.

@Benoit:
I did download debian 12 recipe (from commit 0557abbd) today and at a first glance noticed:

1. gambas3-gb-{gtk3, qt5, qt6}-wayland and gambas3-gb-{gtk3, qt5, qt6}-x11 are completely missing in control file (and thus as package I presume)
2. double use of some dependencies for gambas3 for following:
 gambas3-dev-tools (>= ${binary:Version}),
 gambas3-scripter (>= ${binary:Version}),
 gambas3-ide (>= ${binary:Version}),
 gambas3-runtime (>= ${binary:Version})
3. dependencies for gambas3 not needed:
 gambas3-dev (>= ${binary:Version}),
 gambas3-devel (>= ${binary:Version}),
4. A lot if not most components all of a sudden seem to depend on gambas3-runtime. Intentional or not?

That's just the biggies.
