'dak'
dak (Debian Archive Kit) is the collection of scripts that have replaced dinstall and friends.
The source is managed in git and is available from: http://ftp-master.debian.org/git/
The old bzr tree is obsolete and no longer available. All information in it is now in git
The old CVS tree is obsolete but still available for historical purposes. It's at :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/dak; the module is 'dak' and the login password is blank. The old CVS repository can be browsed courtesy of viewcvs.
You can also install the dak Package if you want to look at it and maybe run your own copy.
The really old dinstall scripts are still available from :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/ftp-maint; the modules are 'dinstall' and 'masterfiles'.
New Packages
New Packages uploaded to the archive, but not yet accepted, can be seen here. Packages uploaded and accepted, but not yet installed into the pool locations are to be found here, until the daily cron run moves them into the pool.
Pending removals
Packages which are scheduled to be removed from Debian are shown here and also on the ftp bugpage.
Removed packages
To find what packages (and why) have been removed you can view the log of removals. This log contains the entries for this year only, to view older removal log entries follow one of the following links.

If you want you can also follow removals via the RSS feed provided.
