deps: pin ueberdb2 to 6.1.9 (fixes standalone-server startup exit) + run deb smoke on PRs (#7969)
ueberdb2 6.1.10 rewrote the cache/buffer layer (CacheAndBufferLayer.ts),
replacing the constructor's always-on, *referenced* `setInterval` flush timer
with a lazily-armed `setTimeout` that is `.unref()`'d and only created when
there are dirty keys. On a fresh, empty dirty DB there are no dirty keys, so no
flush timer is ever armed and ueberdb2 no longer anchors Node's event loop. In
the packaged (.deb/systemd) production boot this exposes a startup window where
the loop has no referenced handle and the process exits cleanly (code 0) before
`server.listen()` binds the port — so the server never serves /health.

Symptom on develop: the Debian-package amd64 smoke test failed on three
consecutive pushes (#7966 ueberdb2 6.1.9->6.1.12, then #7965, #7967), with the
service logging the version banner then "Deactivated successfully" and the
health check on :9001 never connecting. Backend/Docker/downstream-smoke stayed
green because they keep the loop alive by other means; only the bare
fresh-empty-dirty-DB packaged boot hits the gap. ueberdb2 6.1.12 is the latest
published release, so there is no fixed version to roll forward to yet — pin
back to the last green release (6.1.9) on both src/ and bin/.

Also add a `pull_request` trigger to the Debian-package workflow (scoped to the
same production-footprint paths). The smoke step is the only check that catches
this "boots then exits before binding" class of regression, but it previously
ran only on push to develop — i.e. *after* merge — which is exactly why the
Dependabot bump turned develop red instead of being blocked at PR time. The
release/apt-publish jobs are tag-guarded, so PRs run the build+smoke job only.
