For future reference. I'd say that 95%-99% of the packages that exist for x86 / x86-64, also exist for the armhf ABI. But when in doubt, you can use apt-cache search, and if perchance that does not work. Searching the web for "Debian Jessie( or Wheezy ) package <package-name>" will turn up results. From there you can get a correct package name, or just keep searching the debian package lists to see if there is an armhf ABI compatible binary / package.
