Note to future readers: the actual question was contained in the Subject: header rather than the body. The original Subject: header said, "was nvramtool removed from the package repository?" To answer that, we can start with packages.debian.org. <https://packages.debian.org/nvramtool> redirects to <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nvramtool> which tells us: Package nvramtool buster (oldoldstable) (admin): Read/write coreboot-related NVRAM/CMOS information 0.0+r3669-2.2+b2: amd64 armel armhf i386 So it clearly was removed after buster. To find out more, we can click on the package, and then click "Developer Information". This takes us to <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nvramtool> which tells us the exact date the package was removed from testing. We can click that item to get to <https://tracker.debian.org/news/1151276/nvramtool-removed-from-testing/> which tells us *why* it was removed.
