Just remember, many people can use dpkg-ftp through a firewall if their
proxy is a 2 step procedure+password. All you do is tell dselect to ftp
to the firewall. Then set it to respond with anonymous@ftp.debian.org,
and then when the password is asked, use username@site.com. I used this
method for a while when I was behind a TIS fwtk based firewall, and then
behind Gaunlet, which behaved the same.
