Sarge Repository Gone

On our last remaining Sarge box (I know, I know ..) my periodic "apt-get" script which checks for updates (I realise security stopped back in March) failed last weekend with 404s on all the package lists for Sarge (it uses ftp.de.debian.org). A check of packages.debian.org seems to confirm Sarge
