across the different devices and media, the folder and file structure isn't exactly consistent.

That's the thing: it doesn't need to be. If your backup software or filesystem supports block-level deduplication, all matching data only gets stored once, and filenames don't matter. The files don't even have to 100% match. You'll still see all your files when browsing, but the system is transparently making sure to only store stuff once.

Some examples of popular backup software that does this are Borgbackup and Restic, while filesystems that can do this include BTRFS and ZFS.

That definitely makes sense. Also, the scripts in a .deb should be incredibly short and readable, if you choose to check them out.

It's worth knowing that .deb files can contain setup scripts that get run as root when installed, so you should trust them too.
