I haven't looked at all the files, but the source packages for dpkg
1.17.1{2,3} are indeed missing, although they are referenced in Jessie's
Sources.xz file (with "Extra-Source-Only: yes"). This is likely due to
the partial removal of Jessie from the mirrors[1].
On archive.org[2] the source packages in question are indeed there. I
would suggest to file a bug report against the ftp.debian.org
pseudopackage.
Cheers,
Sven
