Make it easy to install the latest release of `kubectl` Debian and RPM packages

[Sharaf5]

isnt there a way to install latest version rather than going through the same installation process for each new version
many poeple like to be mostly up to date

this was a good workaround but it's not working now

kv=$( curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt | cut -f1,2 -d'.' )
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/$kv/deb/Release.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes.gpg;
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes.gpg] https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/${kv}/deb/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list

but recently we need to delete the patch number from version ( b in semantic versioning vM.m.p-build )

cant you make an alise for latest version in these links

https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/latest/deb/Release.key
https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/latest/deb/

The changes you've asked for aren't a priority for Kubernetes @Sharaf5. Can you explain the user story that this enables for you?

[Sharaf5]

I'm just telling you that if you could add an alise for latest version so one could update latest version and key programmatically or via scripts, that would be more user friendly
