Alternatively, if it is deemed that chosing and installing a ftp server is
something technical, Debian could provide a meta-package which would
pick one, conflict on others, and interact with users to ease the
configuration.
Also, if I understand correctly, only one *ftpd package is "Optional"
and all the others are "Extra". Uderlining this in the documentations
and the behaviour of front-ends should also greatly help the beginners
who do not need functinalities which are unique to one ftp server.
Have a nice day,
