No, wait -- *no* package vanishes from f.g.o. In fact, that is our most
reliable source, and we'd prefer to have *all* tarballs uploaded
there. ;)

The iso-codes tarballs vanished from the debian ftp server, which is the
master source for iso-codes. And no, we do not have any clue why anyone
ever would possibly remove the previous version, when releasing a new
tarball...
