Okay, so, having seen a moderate response to the availability of libgal9
and libgtkhtml14, and then the very next day getting a request for
libgwrapguile9, I've decided to just put up a web site, which I call
the Lost Debian Unstable Package Archive.

The site contains all the .deb packages in my possession which are no
longer in the standard package repository, and which are either obsolete,
or one release old. This will allow people to satisfy outdated dependencies,
as with the current gnucash package, or to back out of bad upgrades. I
will be updating the site more or less daily, so packages will be coming
and going that frequently.

I'm making this available as a last-resort service to the Debian
community. I would appreciate it if, before looking at my archive, you
verify that the package you need is not in your own
/var/cache/apt/archives directory or in the standard repository, and
that tuxfinder can't find it for you. The reason for this is that my
site is on a consumer DSL line (128k upload), and if downloads take up
too much of my bandwidth, I'll have to take the site down or scale it
back somehow. (Can Apache be told to limit its total bandwidth usage?)

The site is here: http://crdic.ath.cx/debian
