Yes, they do, but I can't just download the deb file from there and
install it, can I? In my understanding, there will be some dependencies
and my software will try to resolve them by looking at the buster
repository, and will most likely fail (as, for example, the
lilypond-data package is required to be 2.20.0-2 which is still not in
the buster repositories). Besides, I don't think it would be wise to
change my system-wide apt source just for LilyPond.

But I hope someone can prove me wrong on anything I've just said.

Thanks again!
