Unfortunately the pool/ system does not tell us which suite a package is available in (that's the whole point of it, as it lets them share the packages across suites without moving things around).

Looking for the package availability

  https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=coccinelle

seems to tell me about these:

  xenial (16.04LTS) (devel): semantic patching tool for C [universe]
  1.0.4.deb-2: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 powerpc ppc64el s390x

  bionic (18.04LTS) (devel): semantic patching tool for C [universe]
  1.0.4.deb-3build4: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x

  groovy (20.10) (devel): semantic patching tool for C [universe]
  1.0.8.deb-4: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x

  hirsute (devel): semantic patching tool for C [universe]
  1.0.8.deb-5build1: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x

but it does not seem to produce hits in any of the [focal], [focal-updates], and [focal-backports] suites, which the actions thing seem to be using X-<.

Hmph...
