I'd like to comment first that the code of the script draining those
data also resides in bio-tools Git[1]. I'm not sure in what repository
it is placed best. I do not intend to maintain it actively since for
me that's a solved problem. If you have more questions feel free
to ask me.

For me the latter is something new I was not aware about. So I'd
go with the well established link to the packages page (may be even
to https://tracker.debian.org) and not use "fancy" features.

Thanks for your work on this
