Old AUR packages are preserved indefinitely. The history of the two
packages you mention are still in AUR's git:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=amavisd-new
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=perl-convert-uulib

(That said, I really like keeping the history together, so I'd vote for
preserving AUR history when import to "real" Arch repositories, if at
all possible...)
