It's ftp.debian.org fronted by (currently at least), Fastly.  (Not sure
if that answers your question?  Happy to elaborate if you explain what
you're after.)

(Taking a slight guess at what you actually mean here.)  Anycast for
HTTP directly is somewhat icky, when done over the global internet,
since you often (relatively) end up with BGP reconvergences leading you
to hit a different server, which causes the current problems.  For this,
just doing anycast for the DNS servers is better (since it's mostly UDP
(and the rest is short-lived TCP) and therefore not subject to the same
problems.
