I think it should be reported against Emacs, since it's not a Good
Thing for Emacs to let programs think they have a particular type of
terminal on stdin/stdout when they in fact have nothing more than a
pipe into an Emacs buffer.

Report to debian-bugs. It's supposed to be the package maintainers
responsibility to forward them to the upstream maintainers.
In fact I think the ange-ftp problem has been passed up to the FSF
before, but they couldn't duplicate it (presumably because they didn't
have such a nice ftp client as we do :-) so it got dropped. I only
today figured out what the problem was.
