You have apparently repacked the upstream source:

% sha256sum ftputil-2.4.2.tar.gz ftputil_2.4.2.orig.tar.gz 
eace61a299baa8166fe313fcbc55ee05d73730048dcc5fa2dfc3aa8dc2fb318a  ftputil-2.4.2.tar.gz
54aebaf4ffccf34bb53768007e84c54060d49c84470ab2536cde8fd4cc9d9790  ftputil_2.4.2.orig.tar.gz

I assume this is an accident, and not intentional (e.g. for DFSG
purposes). Could you please fix it?

Regards, Rotty
