.deb files are disappearing from the archive
Gentlemen -
It seems .deb files are disappearing from the archives. According to
the BTS (#75827), Christian Marillat uploaded
gnumeric_0.58-0.1_i386.deb to unstable on 14 Nov 00. When I checked
just now (see below), master had 0.58-0.1 binaries only for alpha (in
testing). ftp-master had no binaries at all of that version number.
Neither archive has any gnumeric binaries in unstable.
This looks wrong to me. I thought unstable was supposed to remain a
complete distribution. Is there something about package pools that I
don't understand, or is something broken?
Here are the gnumeric binaries on master.debian.org:

BTW, there are no gnumeric sources in testing or unstable on ftp-master:
jrv@auric:~$ ls /debian/ftp/dists/{stable,testing,unstable}/main/source/math/gnumeric*
ls: /debian/ftp/dists/testing/main/source/math/gnumeric*: No such file or directory
ls: /debian/ftp/dists/unstable/main/source/math/gnumeric*: No such file or directory
