title: Getting a deb package from a repo without Debian
body: <p>I've got this advice about where to get a certain package:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aleksandr-andreev/sci
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't use Debian; I have some use for Debian packages, though. <code>ppa:aleksandr-andreev/sci</code> address is not recognized by a web browser, which is not a great surprise. Is there a way to check the contents of a given repository and find a package without employing the Debian infrastructure?</p>
  
  <p>I can get a Debian/Ubuntu image into my Docker, of course, but this looks like a bit of an overkill to me.</p>
