From the apache error log on the mirror:
> mod_fcgid: stderr: Can't call method "get_document" on an undefined value at ../lib/Packages/Search.pm line 264.
> End of script output before headers: dispatcher.fcgi
Looking at the code, that's a method call on a xapian query result.
Looking at the xapian directory on picconi:

For files dated Jan 24, the timestamps don't match, but that's probably
just a sync waiting to happen, and that doesn't explain the issues which
have been happening for so long. I suspected the stray files instead,
dating back to November. I've created an “old-files” directory and moved
them there, and the mirror seems to be behaving properly now.
I'm tagging this bug report with “pending” for the time being, to give
people a chance to comment. But I suppose it should be safe to remove
those old files entirely?
FTR, that would mean cleaning this:
230M /srv/packages.debian.org/files/db/xapian/old-files/
