I'm not aware of canonical numbers, but wc -l goes a long way:
pgp -kv /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp | grep '^pub' | wc -l
505 developers
Similarly, zgrep '^Package:' Packages.{main,contrib,non-free,...} | wc -l
using the Packages files for the various distributions (main, contrib,
non-free, non-US/main, non-US/contrib non-US/non-free) should give a
reasonably accurate package count.
