Bug#68703: unmerge 68703

There *is* a bug in ftpd (and ftpd-ssl).  The postrms of ftpd
and ftpd-ssl contain the following code:

----------------------------------
if [ "$1" = remove -o "$1" = purge ]; then
	update-inetd --remove
"ftp		stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/in.ftpd"
fi
----------------------------------

When ftpd-ssl is installed over ftpd, fptd is removed, not
purged.  When ftpd is purged, this code will remove the
in.ftpd entry from /etc/inetd.conf, even though this now
belongs to ftpd-ssl.

This *may* explain the original problem that was reported.

There may also be a bug in dpkg, but let's follow that
one at #109691.

Apologies if I am somehow confused here.
