Not completely true. :) Some software have one version for all ".deb" 
distros.

AnyDesk has the same repo "deb.anydesk.com" for all distros... as long 
as they support amd64 or armhf.

Google Chrome also has a single ".deb" repo at dl.google.com/linux/deb/

NordVPN has a single repo for all debs at 
repo.nordvpn.com//deb/nordvpn/debian


And on Ubuntu 22.04 if you want to use AnyDesk which relies on 
libpangox-1.0 (which doesn't exist on 22.04 - it used to on 21.x and 
before) you can directly install the Debian one at: 
https://debian.pkgs.org/11/debian-main-amd64/libpangox-1.0-0_0.0.2-5.1_amd64.deb.html 
and it works fine. :)

But yeah. The general rule is if there are specific repos... you want to 
use the specific ones...
