In the spec, https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec there is an example of Debian PURL:
pkg:deb/debian/curl@7.50.3-1?arch=i386&distro=jessie
packageurl-python converts this PURL in the following URL:
https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/curl/curl_7.50.3-1_i386.deb
This gives:
The requested URL was not found on this server.
