 No, because the problem is that the documentation is correct on NetBSD.  The
 problem arises because we have two different ftpd implementations that
 conflict badly.
 
 Personally I think that we should remove lukemftpd from the tree, or at
 least strongly urge the maintainer to correct these conflicts on import.
 Unfortunately there's not a good history of any response to this matter.
