Ah, I see. I think this is just a bug in the web pages though; note that
the same effect happens for e.g. g++-2.95, which most certainly has not
been removed.

Please drop language like "you can't expect", as it doesn't appear to be
intentional that it isn't on the CDs.

It was not removed, as I have just explained. It may not have appeared
on the 3.0r1 *CDs* for some reason, but I am certain that this was
accidental. I suggest that you report it to debian-cd@lists.debian.org.
