Though unfortunately (or I guess for most use-cases fortunately) you can’t find the malicious m4/build-to-host.m4 file on there afaik. The best way to find that now, should you really want to, is by looking through the commit history of the salsa.debian.org/debian/xz-utils repository which is, as far as I understand it, the repository that the debian packages are built from and consequently also what the compromised packages were built from.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
