status of dftp and dpkg-ftp
What's the current status of dftp and dpkg-ftp? Are either of them "official"
debain tools? I'm looking for easier ways to upgrade my system than by
mirroring the whole debian tree. (I just tried dftp-1.4 and had some trouble
with the 'select' function -- the file produced for editing had a couple of
bad entries, such as dosemu being listed twice, with the descriptions for
ytalk and dosemu concatenated together after each of the listings).

can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not
use a hammer."
