I don't know, didn't look at either of those places.  My go-to for
checking what "addon" packages I need is checking one of these three
BEFORE bothering with the developer site:

  apt-cache search <partial-name>
  https://packages.ubuntu.com 
  https://packages.debian.org 

Mostly this comes down to dev-sites having the wrong instructions for
me, since I skip versions (e.g. if the machine has 20.04 on it, I skip
22.04, and then re-install with 24.04). Then there's always the
"cross-platform" stuff that caters more towards their "on-windows"
version.
