That's because they were never supposed to be there, rather on
cdimage.debian.org and its mirrors. They may happen to end up on the
same host name but it's a different branch of the mirror network.

Actually, ftp.debian.org is basically kept for backwards compatibility only.
We don't like users to concentrate on a central set of servers in the US
when there's a 300-tier mirror network available...

That's unfortunately the reality -- people don't want to mirror ISO images
in general, and those that do commonly don't want to spend space on
non-popular architectures.
