I've encountered a similar issue as well. When running sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install timeshift, it prompts that the package cannot be located. Adding a repository also results in the same problem as you described. This has prevented me from rescuing my system using the Ubuntu Live USB. Hopefully, Timeshift can be integrated into the Debian system soon.
