I would be more surprised if the packages were *not* available
somewhere, and I hope they are "guaranteed" the same way as the new
packages (that is, no guarantee other than the benevolence of the
community members). These things are very important for current and
future "software archeology" and for preserving the history and
evolution of computing.
Heck, I even had to install Debian Sarge a few years ago to try to
figure out how a very old piece of software was supposed to be built.
It was neat to have the whole ecosystem as a 2005 developer expected
and I'm very happy that the old versions were still downloadable!
