This seems to be completely opposed to prior comments on this same bug
(#140635). What are you suggesting should be the resolution? Should
ftp-ssl "Provides: ftp", or should both ftp and ftp-ssl "Provides:
ftp-client"?
This is important for packages that "Depends: ftp" currently. Should
they continue to do so, or should they "Depends: ftp-client" instead?
Or something else? Currently, installing ftp-ssl does not satisfy
packages that "Depends: ftp", and it seems this new version of ftp-ssl
does not move closer to resolving that situation.
