Installations work fine on my tests at this end. Including a fresh
jessie debootstrap which installs liblocale-gettext-perl just fine.

I: Retrieving liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-8+b1

liblocale-gettext-perl_1.05-7+b1_amd64.deb exists for wheezy on the
mirrors.

http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libl/liblocale-gettext-perl/liblocale-gettext-perl_1.05-7%2bb1_amd64.deb

Just as packages.debian.org says it should:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/liblocale-gettext-perl/download

If some mirrors have issues, it is not all mirrors:

http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libl/liblocale-gettext-perl/
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libl/liblocale-gettext-perl/
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/liblocale-gettext-perl/download

Please re-check your test environment. It sounds obvious, but you are
sure that your apt lists are up to date (apt update)? Stable and
Oldstable do receive updates. e.g. The Jessie 8.1 update was June 6th
2015. https://www.debian.org/News/2015/20150606

If, for some reason, you want the version prior to an update, there is
always snapshot.debian.org. Old versions are not retained on the
mirrors.
