Try this maybe?

http://security.debian.org/debian-security/

The one you're currently using redirects to an informational text
page. This second one from my apt-get sources opens to the kind of
downloadable packages you might be seeking.

One of the things I learned early on with ALL Linux distributions was
to play with visiting the repository pages in person to get a feel for
their layouts. On rare occasions, I've used that method to download
problem packages when all other methods of installation were failing.
*shhhh* :)
