You might check out http://snapshot.debian.net/, daily snapshots of
sid going back to 2002/06/04.  I have the last 30 days worth of
archives in my sources.list.  I'm using relative days (nn-days-ago)
instead of absolute days (2004/04/02), though I would love to figure
out a way to set up my sources.list to use the last thirty days in
absolute days, automatically knowing what day it is.  My rationale is
that this would be more cache friendly, since I'd only have to
download one new set of Packages.gz a day from snapshot.debian.net
instead of 30.
