Here are some examples of the old format of these pages:

http://web.archive.org/web/20080630193353/http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/qmail-run_2.0.0.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20080608063628/ftp-master.debian.org/new/libgit-ruby_1.0.7-1.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20080609071041/ftp-master.debian.org/new/x11proto-dri2_1.1-1.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20080601184737/ftp-master.debian.org/new/icedtea-gcjwebplugin_1.0-1.html

The stuff that is missing includes control file, lintian info, .deb
contents, copyright and file listing for each binary package. Most of
that is not available in new.822.
