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.
