Have you considered creating an AppImage (http://appimage.org/) of it, whose executables work on all reasonably recent Linux's, not just Deepin?
To be honest, despite almost 10 years with Linux, I'd never heard of them till now - apparently they've been around for a few years! Only just read about them on Distrowatch, which was actually testing Fedora's Flat-pack, and Ubuntu's 'snap' systems - with disasterious results I may add!
AppImage on the other hand, worked flawlessly! I've just downloaded the sample AppImage from the above link and it works flawlessly on Mint 17.3. I'll check Deepin tomorrow. I must say, I think its an incredible idea, especially as app updates take the form of potentially tiny delta-updates, rather than downloading the complete app. I have removed Libre Office from all of my Linux setups for just this reason!
You should watch the video on the same page as well. Converting already-existing linux apps to AppImages seems a reasonably simple affair. There are also quite a few of the major Linux applications already available as AppImages - https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages - I for one, am impressed anyway!
Edit: Having just fired up Deepin, I am pleased to report that the sample AppImage application available at the above link works perfectly! In fact, the exercise seems to highlight another little Deepin bug - if the application is copied to the Desktop, no amount of double-clicking, or right-click, select 'Open', will run the program. If however, you open the terminal, navigate to Desktop, and predeed the filename with './', the application will start and perform flawlessly. Or copy it to any place other than the Desktop - double-clicking it now starts it up immediately. AppImages: I'm a Believer.
