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).
