I'm confused. Didn't you say back then that the files are there and
usable on the Debian Sarge installation media? My idea was to first
just upload the "penguin" package [1] to "unreleased" and then rebuild
the CD image. I assume that should restore the Debian Sarge setup.

Well. I think it's still a sensible idea to create the floppy image if
there are tools generally available to write those to floppies.
