you need to patch ftp methos install (/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/install
or so) :

foreach $dist (@dists) {
    my $fn = "Packages.$dist";
    $fn =~ tr/\//_/;
    if (-f $fn) {              
(add the line with tr).

i reported this now as a bug, in the hope it gets fixed. it was
discussed here at least once, so i thought it was fixed ...

regards, andreas
