Er no they are not all in the pool. The only packages in the pool are
the current versions for stable/testing/unstable/experimental. There are
also the few packages that haven't been completely compiled on all archs
yet and so are still left in archive while this is being done.
snapshot.debian.net has nearly every deb since 2002/06/04, but it is not
an official debian repo afaik.
