Package: wnpp
ftpd is unmaintained/non-existing upstream and the package seems to be unmaintained as
well (see related #986997). It should be removed in favour of another ftpd that is in the
archive. None of them is fully command-line compatible. inetutils-ftpd seems to be the
most compatible one with only a few options missing.
If noone wants to adopt the package, I am going to file a RM bug soon. In that case,
inetutils-ftpd should provide a transitional package with more information on how to
switch to inetutils-ftpd.
Whoever wants to use the linux-ftpd source can still install ftpd-ssl.
