I think you are thinking of the command “add-apt-repository”. And no, it isn’t
packaged for Fedora. Looking at the Debian control file [1], it has a lot of
dependencies on other Debian core packages that would probably make it a pain
to package for Fedora.

You might be better off using podman and a Debian container.
