If the website in question is hosted at debian.org, it is probably due
to cleanup of Debian's servers after the recent intrusion.

The Debian/BSD porting efforts have accumulated other code that could be
useful to FreeBSD. I have also code to support utmp(x) and the shadow
password API (based on SUSv2 and glibc). These would need some work to
integrate, though.

You can find them here:
http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/freebsd-libc/?cvsroot=glibc-bsd
Or by CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/glibc-bsd co freebsd-libc

All this code is BSD licensed.
