IIRC the final death for Debian GNU/NetBSD and Debian GNU/FreeBSD
(without "k") was a fire in combination with no backup:
http://web.archive.org/web/20110728174822/http://www.debian.org/ports/freebsd/bsd-libc-based
(Citing from there: "There were packages available but the public copy
is no longer available due to a server lost in fire. Due to this and
some other unfortunate circumstances, the progress on the port is
presently stalled.")
See also http://www.debian.org/News/2002/20021122
Guessing from other sources on the net, it seems that the GNU/NetBSD
and Debian GNU/FreeBSD (without "k") projects had a lot in common, so
this probably also explains the lack of code and other traces on the
net for Debian GNU/NetBSD.
