I'm wondering if Packagekit's command

pkcon refresh

also pulls in information about updateable packages from Debian mirrors - like:

apt update

does - or if it just updates Packagekit's internal cache of avaible updates.

The man page just says

Refresh the cached information about avaible updates.

Yes, pkcon refresh uses the underlying package management system, so on a Debian system it will refresh the APT indexes (like apt update).
