What would you like Renovate to be able to do?
Add support for the Repology API as a datasource
Describe the solution you'd like
Since the regex manager has been added, a lot of scenarios around Dockerfiles have been unlocked. With the existing datasources we can _kind of_ support updating system packages, but support for Repology would be a safer way to do this.
Additionally, adding Repology could help in updating other package managers versions. See nixpkgs for an idea.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Let me comment here then - feel free to assign the issue to me afterwards :+1:
Got a working implementation here, however the project grouping which Repology automatically applies is cumbersome, as e.g. pulseaudio-doc, pulseaudio-utils, libpulse0, ... are all grouped underneath a project called pulseaudio. The current API does not allow to search for a specific package name, so I've raised a request for that at https://github.com/repology/repology-webapp/issues/111#issuecomment-601880500
I will see if there is any update in the next few days, otherwise I'd push a version where dependencies have to be declared as <project>/<repository>/<package name> instead of just <repository>/<package name> as a first step.
