  I first tough It could be him simply downloading this package from an 
autralian http mirror.  I found out to effectively be the IP for 
ftp.wa.au.debian.org, but I received your email only when I was about to 
answer.


  How to reproduce It?  apt-get -Vu remove --purge ftpd

  Then your next installation will again download ftpd from this mirror. 
 Unless me missed something, problem solved.
