Hello all,
I filed the attached bug report because the orig tarballs of tomcat5 and libxalan2-java are missing in the main section of the archive. They are present in the contrib section bug 'apt-cache source ...' fails because it looks in main only. I will make sure this gets fixed somehow so we dont need to do source-ful uploads of transitioned packages again and again.

According to [1] libxalan2-java got uploaded WITH orig tarball on 17 Aug 2005 and according to [2] tomcat5 got upload WITH orig tarball on 24 Oct 2005. The orig tarballs are NOT in main anymore. They still exist in the contrib section although the package got uploaded to main. When we re-upload WITH orig tarball now AGAIN there seems to be a chance that the orig tarball vanishes again. This seems to be a bug in the main/contrib section handling when packages get moved from one to another.
