If you've got apt configured (/etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/apt/sources.list)
then you don't need to worry about finding things directly.  After doing
an 'apt-get update' to fetch the current Packages files and rebuild the
local package database, you can say 'apt-cache search foo' and it will
show you all the packages called foo or with foo in their description.
A simple 'apt-get install foo-dev' will download and install the foo-dev
package and any other package it may require according to its
dependencies.

For more info & discussion on actual Debian issues rather than the
actual development of the hppa-linux kernel and toolchain have a look at
the debian-hppa mailing list (on the Debian website).
