The only "ancient" data that can be kept is the list of news. I'm
not interested in showing old news of packages which are no longer in
Debian at all.

http://tracker.debian.org/pkg/<foo> is the canonical URL for a given
source package.
If the source packages does not exist (as is the case here), we still
have a nice fallback to redirect to the source package that contains
a binary package of the same name.
You could argue that returning an HTTP 404 would be better but I don't
think so.
