[puzzled- do you mean ftp.debian.org??]
These are packages for Sarge, which is released already, so no. At
DebianGIS we can host aftermarket .debs for Sarge, which is what these
are.

The packages from which these are built are all in DebianGIS's unstable
repository already and it's up to the respective maintainers to decide
when those are ready for sid & the main Debian archives.

A DebianGIS developer will do. :) Due to time constraints I'd rather
someone else who's already familiar with the system did it. I'm getting
ready to head to sea.

Sorry, we are very much at the bottom end of the world here and our
bandwidth costs are nuts. As in it will cost us about $7 every time
someone downloads those six packages. I can only provide links to a few
people via private email (one will follow).
