Hi,
avr packages in debian have for the last couple of years been based on a
distribution from atmel:


http://distribute.atmel.no/tools/opensource/Atmel-AVR-GNU-%20Toolchain/3.4.4/

However it's recently gone away too...

There have been a sugestion to use Microchip Packs Repository:

    http://packs.download.atmel.com/

But as far as I can tell, these are binary distributions and thus not
suitable for mainstream debian (I suppose placing them i non-free could be
an option).
