Getting a deb package from a repo without Debian

I've got this advice about where to get a certain package:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aleksandr-andreev/sci

I don't use Debian; I have some use for Debian packages, though. ppa:aleksandr-andreev/sci 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?

I can get a Debian/Ubuntu image into my Docker, of course, but this looks like a bit of an overkill to me.

You can search PPA repos here and transform the ppa URI as HTTP launchpad link like this: https://launchpad.net/~aleksandr-andreev/+archive/ubuntu/sci

Btw there is already a similar answer here
