You use jigdo? Try it, it works.
In my experience jigdo does not work for a CD release of a previous
point release because some of the packages referenced by the jigdo
are
removed from the mirrors i.e. those which have been updated.
Actually jigdo has a mechanism to fallback to a certain server for
packages
it can not download from the given mirror. That is:
zcat debian-502-i386-netinst.jigdo
...
[Servers]
Debian=http://us.cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/ --try-last
apparently this 'try-last' repo does not store historical packages long
enough
for any reason. In that case the unfinished image can still be mounted
loopback
and re-used, but this time the snapshot.debian.org mirror could be
given as a mirror
to finally finish the image.
$ zgrep -i generated debian-502-i386-netinst.jigdo

Then you navigate the required dated URL at:
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/
which is the case of debian-502 should be something like:
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20090629T101044Z/
(yes, this is not very convenient)
