They could be mirrored from ftp.debian.org, but to me, it doesn't make
much sense.
If you (preferably) make the dir on ftp.gnome.org aptable, the user
has to put a line for a regular ftp.debian.org mirror into his apt
sources.list nevertheless, so that when he installs a GNOME package,
the needed libs get pulled from the Debian mirror automatically.
But then, he could also fetch the GNOME packages from the Debian
mirror right away.
So a note that GNOME packages are available from the regular Debian
mirrors would be sufficient, no?
