(This "should" isn't true, by the way; a lot of people prefer to track a
distribution by codename rather than by status, and the codenames exist
precisely so that they can do that.)
I'm afraid hylafax* has been removed from frozen (potato), as may well
happen to packages with release-critical bugs. See:

msg00022.html
