Sorry, but I cannot help with that part. :-/  Though please note that
silence might not be absence of progress.  As I recall, they were
completely silent during the zfs/linux license issue despite working on
it.  Can't say if that is an apt comparison though (I don't usually deal
with licensing issues).

To be honest, I have no idea where ftpmaster at ftp-master.debian.org got
from.  I do not remember adding it manually.
