Personally I can't see a reason for ftp-server; does proftpd really
conflict with wu-ftpd? Surely it ought to be possible to have them both
installed at the same time?

On this note, is it a bug that wn conflicts with the virtual package httpd
and replaces ncsa, apache and cern-httpd? None of the other packages which
provide httpd seem to do this. [though this is a bo system]
