The license, or lack thereof does not allow binary redistribution which
alters the way qmail is installed via source. Thus there are source
packages of qmail which work just fine.

That is false. Please do not propagate that myth. Qmail can most certainly
be installed in an insecure or poor manner.

Many people have started to create debs for pureftpd (myself included) and
for one reason or another stopped. I believe there are .debs for it, they
are just not in the main debian archives. check the pureftpd website.

Blanket statements such as this are generally worthless.
