I did a search over the provided sources and only found one case where we
have the project as a deb in the archive, which is alertmanager:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prometheus-alertmanager

So unless you can confirm there are other debs in the archive matching the
remaining upstream projects, alertmanager is the only one we can add to our
CVEs monitoring service. I can add it right now.

Let me know if you have any questions.
