That is absolutely not true.  Webmin may not be in the official archive
anymore, but they still do support Debian.  The problem is that it is
such a fast moving target that the Debian maintainers can't keep up.
Webmin still works on Debian and still supports it.

It has a built-in update mechanism which can be used to keep webmin
updated from the upstream releases.
