Well, you get ppp in the base system and dpkg-ftp as well. If you followed
the directions properly when setting up your DNS, and put commas in the
list of name servers, you will need to remove the commas before the name
lookup will work properly. Given that this is fixed, you will have no
problems with dselect's ftp method.
