I guess he is talking about dpkg-ftp. I removed it from the base system, as apt should do the same work better.
apt v1's FTP method (in v3 it's better, but that isn't even packaged at all yet) is less capable than dpkg-ftp, if a user needs to use a FTP proxy for example, they need dpkg-ftp. I suppose the install doc should have a note about the various dselect methods.
