That is the place where they're consistently logged: the tools the
ftpmasters use to remove packages automatically log there, I believe.
The only exceptions are packages from before that log was introduced (of
course), and non-US packages (which are logged in
http://non-us.debian.org/~troup/removals.txt, but much of that was lost
in the University of Twente fire that destroyed satie.debian.org).
