I repeat (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464796#40),
The apt source is:
deb http://62.43.64.122/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
The apt key can be found here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=35;filename=ia32-jasp.asc;att=1;bug=464796
The unofficial package that creates the repository is debia32. There's
some documentation there.
Instructions for packages marked as "compile" manually were given as
bugs (maybe already closed) in their respective packages. I can send the
last resulting patch if someone needs it.
And I repeat
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers/2008-April/000006.html), do not click the repository link, you won't be authorized. The mirroring is expected to resume and won't have that limitation. If you want to browse the repository do rsync to 62.43.64.122::ia32.
Note that I'll have to readjust libc6-i386 dependencies to return to the
official libc6 and rebuild again.

I never understood that part of the policy. Why a main source package
that produces a useful set of main binary packages can't produce
additional contrib or non-free packages? How do you solve that?

It would indeed. But if the official position is to convert from the
i386 mirror or use a separate one, then it's gonna be a conversion from
the i386 CD set or use a separate one. That could be a mini-CD (you
should try "Architecture: all", even with /emul/ia32-linux/), current
files are ~142MB.
Bye.
