sigh. I go to that URL, and under builds I click "maverick amd64". I then have to select which binary package I want. Let's select "sun-java6-bin 6.24-1build0.10.10.1", as that one will be most critical to someone trying to deal with their JVM disappearing.
At this point, you are presented with the "(deleted)" notice next to the file. In fact, along this path you have been presented with "(deleted)" next to every useful download (such as for sources); the only thing you can get is a 318.5 MiB diff from 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.10.
So no: old packages are /not/ archived in launchpad, and I feel you are just helping prove that. Accordingly, I will now reassert my question re wasting time. Seriously: this is ridiculous; are you even trying these links before claiming they work in specific ways?
