I am referring to UbuntuGIS unstable and stable ppas listed here:

Sources are available through launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=focal

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/13163032/+listing-archive-extra

When major changes are needed to the upstream DebianGIS packages, we 
create branches in Debian Salsa git repositories.
