Indeed, also http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/project/trace/ schow old
traces.

I just compared the versions available at
http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/conkeror/ with what should
be there: http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/conkeror.html

So that packages are also out of date for about a year. So it's not
just the time stamps, but also the contents.

Same here.

http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://mirror.linux.org.au
reports the same IP address for at least June 2009 to April 2012. So I
guess no.

So maybe it suddenly syncs from a no more uptodate mirror?

Simon: Is syncproxy.wna.debian.org the mirror from where
mirror.linux.org.au should sync from?
