For anyone who uses Canonical Ubuntu, you may be familiar with the 'rmadison' or 'cmadison' tools, which will allow you to query repository packages or cloud packages respectively. Here are some sample outputs:
$ rmadison -a amd64 openssh-server -s bionic,focal,jammy
openssh-server | 1:7.6p1-4 | bionic | amd64
openssh-server | 1:8.2p1-4 | focal | amd64
openssh-server | 1:8.9p1-3 | jammy | amd64
$ cmadison ceph --clear-cache
ceph | 15.2.14-0ubuntu0.20.04.2~cloud1 | ussuri | bionic-updates | source
ceph | 15.2.14-0ubuntu0.20.04.2~cloud1 | ussuri-proposed | bionic-proposed | source
ceph | 16.2.6-0ubuntu0.21.04.1~cloud0 | wallaby | focal-updates | source
ceph | 16.2.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1~cloud2 | wallaby-proposed | focal-proposed | source
ceph | 16.2.6-0ubuntu1~cloud2 | xena | focal-updates | source
ceph | 16.2.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1~cloud1 | xena-proposed | focal-proposed | source
ceph | 16.2.7-0ubuntu2~cloud1 | yoga | focal-updates | source
ceph | 17.1.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 | yoga-proposed | focal-proposed | source
lpmadison is a tool I wrote to query packages from the past that may no longer be available in the archives, using Launchpad.
There are many features I'll be adding soon, some are stubbed in the code already, but the invocation is very simple:
$ apt -y install python3-venv
$ python3 -mvenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./lpmadison.py --series bionic --package libvirt-bin --arch amd64

This will go back as far as the search criteria has been met. You can then use this data, dates, times, URLs to reconstruct packages you need that may no longer be available in the public archives.
I will update this README as more features and capability are added. Suggestions and PRs are always welcome!
