May be either packages.debian.org or tracker.debian.org is what you are
seeking for depending from the amount of information you want to
present. For instance
https://packages.debian.org/bwa&exact=1
https://tracker.debian.org/bwa

While there are syntactical constraints (lower case letters, numbers,
'-', '.', '+'; no upper case letters, no '_') you probably want to link
to existing packages which per definition will have a valid name. Or am
I missing something?
Kind regards
