Debian included it in three releases, 8 (jessie), 9 (stretch), and 10 (buster), which was released 2019-07-06. As LilyPond 2.18.2's successor, 2.20.0, was released 2020-03-01, there's no possibility that Debian 10 could include it. The current, stable Debian, 12 (bookworm), was released 2023-06-10, and it includes LP version 2.24.1 (released 2023-02-12), but missed out on 2.24.2 (2023-08-12) and, of course, 2.24.3 (yesterday). As you're running Debian 10, note that it hasn't had any security updates from Debian itself for over a year (since 2022-06-30). It's up to the companies and volunteers providing Long Term Support (LTS, until 2024-06-30) as to which packages they care to maintain. Cheers, David.
