Oh. So which package is your ftp coming from? When you talk about
your "box-stock ftp client", what do you mean? Is it /usr/bin/ftp?
If so, could you do a: `dpkg -S /usr/bin/ftp' to find out which is the
offending package. Then `dpkg -l ftppkgname' to determine its
version, and `dpkg --print-avail ftppkgname' to find out what potato's
version is.
