This issue is a request for comments what has to be done to transition the 
default ftp from netkit-ftp to tnftp.

tnftp already provides a virtual ftp package, similar to the netkit-ftp and 
netkit-ftp-ssl packages.
The tnftp package maintainer has added a transitional package ftp (not uploaded 
yet):
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tnftp/-/commit/2004f46789e2fd12fd08f7f89aab2e1f6f88426f
Is that package needed or does ftp transition okay once netkit-ftp is removed 
from the archive?

Compatibility: I do not see any compatibility problems regarding command line 
flags or program behaviour.
If you see any problem, please report it on this issue.

netrc.5: The content of this manpage is included in tnftp.1 (ftp.1). Is this 
okay or does the manpage have to be split?

Priority: netkit-ftp's control file has Priority: standard, while `apt show 
ftp` presents Priority: optional.
Is it okay to keep Priority: optional for tnftp?

Please also report on this issue if you have any other comments about this 
matter.
