Broken *deb's in hamm



I have recently downloaded a mirror of Hamm, but some of the packages
appear to be broken. The following command:

$ find . -name *.deb -exec dpkg -I "{}" ';' | grep 'not a debian'

results in (slightly edited):

dpkg-deb: `./debian/hamm/binary-i386/editors/emacspeak_7.0-1.deb' 
	is not a debian format archive

dpkg-deb: `./debian/hamm/binary-i386/devel/lesstifg-dbg_0.82-1.deb' 
	is not a debian format archive

dpkg-deb: `./debian/hamm/binary-i386/utils/ftape-2.0.30_3.04c-0.1.deb' 
	is not a debian format archive

dpkg-deb: `./debian/hamm/binary-i386/oldlibs/lesstif-altdbg_0.82-1.deb' 
	is not a debian format archive


I have tried downloading them from a different mirror with the same
result. Are these packages really bogus, or am I just cursed? I don't
rely on these packages, but dselect complains, and that is a little
annoying.
