scary installation method for linux

First, let me say I am so grateful for Calibre! Thank you all for your work developing and supporting it.

I came to the forum because the installation method for linux makes me really nervous, and I can't imagine I'm the only one. Copy and paste a terminal command that downloads a bash script off the web and runs it sudo?! Um ... I'm no security expert, and maybe I'm naive to think AppImage or package managers are somehow more secure, but that just does not sound like a generally good policy.

Is there any talk of getting it into Ubuntu repos or anything like that?

Thanks in advance for thoughts.
