Hell, why should we _require_ that someone have an ftpd installed?

Since it was broken out of netstd, I no longer install telnet,
preferring ssh.

I have no use for a finger daemon, why should I have to install it?

I think the _real_ problem is that packages have depended on netstd,
and their dependencies need to be changed to be more specific.
