The numbers are different because the site doesn’t naively count every line but merges some as a single package. For example, at the very top of the Debian list we have 0ad, 0ad-data, 0ad-data-common. These are all counted as one single “package.”
One might argue that doing the comparison in that way is more useful to an average user asking “which distribution has more software available.”
