I don't think we really care if Debian removes the files from their servers.

So long as the file is actually in the Gentoo mirrors, that would be the case.  For a recent attempt at installing debianutils 4.11.1, it wasn't...or at least it was gone from the mirror (mirrors.tds.net/gentoo) configured on the box that was failing.  It doesn't appear to be an inactive mirror; the timestamp files within distfiles are dated from today.  For whatever reason, the tarballs for this package aren't reliably getting propagated to at least some mirrors.

Commenting out GENTOO_MIRRORS caused it to pull directly from distfiles.gentoo.org, which did have the file.

If a mirror is missing files, then contact the admin and/or stop using it.
