Hi Matt,
the appropriate list to post your question is the Debian-user list.
Please ask it there. As to your question: you do not need all of those.
Most folks would only need the i386 disk as 90% of folks use Debian on
Intel/AMD cpus. If not, ask on the debian-user list for more help.

One of the Debian developers maintains an unofficial archive of older
packages at snapshot.debian.net. Here is the package search page:
http://snapshot.debian.net/cgi-bin/packages.cgi
and the page for fakeroot 1.4.3:
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2005/08/23/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.4.3.tar.gz

When NMUing a native package, which problem would it add to upload a
source package with a single .tar.gz file? Why can't you simply use
debdiff to compare the two source packages if needed?
