That should not be impossible ...

At least for one of the packages (IIRC -imapd-2.4) I had checked and
there were no dpkg-maint-script-helper calls ... so that wasn't an
erroneus use. There must have been some added to other packages for the
missing copyright files ...

When did you start and stop using it? And on which packages?

If you put the .debs (amd64) together with a Packages file somewhere I
can start my piuparts engine on it :-)
(I can test upgrades from any release in the archive to any other
release but using the new packages instead. Release includes testing,
sid, ...)
