Shouldn't the package be rebuilt (maybe renumbered 0.3.1 or even
0.3.0.4), and some big obvious warnings added like "This release
has no ftp method"? Perhaps in the "Description:" header,
postinst, --help, and even when it runs? Or optionally add a
fake ftp method that prints the warning and returns an error?
