Your index seems correct,

Maybe you have some dependency_links amongst your packages that forces
download links,

with easy_install you can filter the allowed host to prevent it, see:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#restricting-downloads-with-allow-hosts

Try this:

$ easy_install -i http://dev.camptocamp.com/packages/mapfish/1.0/index
--allow-hosts=dev.camptocamp.com mapfish==1.0

You will see som ***BLOCKED*** lines and you will figure out what is happening

I was able to install your mapfish package this way FYI
