take a look at snapshot.debian.net.
but i'm not sure how packages are treated that were removed from debian
due to license issues. i guess that they are purged from
snapshot.debian.net as well.
apart from that, this question belongs more to debian-user. this is a
development list. please see lists.debian.org for more information.
