No binaries in the pool were modified.
There was however a take-down request to remove maitreya. It is indeed
an exceptional circumstance for which indeed the archive was unfrozen,
package in question removed, indexes regenerated and archive frozen
again.

For further details see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maitreya/+bug/1317234

I'm running a snapshotter of the archive, the complete diff of the
dists/ for trusty/ pocket is attached. As you see that apart from
removal of maitreya package there are no other modification to any
other binary package (all checksums stayed the same). There is some
noise in auxiliary package-metadata that got added during index
regeneration. (which is set via archive overrides).
