Because http.us.debian.org is a round-robin DNS, referring to several
mirrors, and you were iterating through them all until you actually found
one that had all the packages you wanted.

<sigh> Just another unstable user that can't be bothered to read
debian-devel-announce, where it was announced that ftp-master was in search
of new hosting, and therefore mirrors are not updating.
