• old Debian files, of possible interest to Debian archivists/historians,

    In clearing out my older archives, deduplicating the redundant, etc.
    I still found many Debian files missing from or not present in official
    Debian locations. Some of these may also be older than what Debian may
    wish to preserve. I believe they all date from slink (2.1) through
    woody (3.0). I believe I much earlier well verified them (e.g. via
    signature on Package files of hashes of files themselves), and also
    preserved the modification times (HTTP Last-Modified, FTP MDTM) from
    the earlier official Debian locations. I believe all these files came
    from the ftp.debian.org (or possibly official mirror thereof, but in
    all cases still verified, etc.) and/or security.debian.org site, and
    are under those corresponding (ftp.debian.org security.debian.org)
    directory names.

    For convenience, here's listing of these 92 files:
