Upstream seems to consider this a feature, and has rejected

I think I'm going to fix this by removing the 'use Net::INET6Glue::FTP'
call from Net::INET6Glue, and adding a dependency on perl (>= 5.21.5).
I'm also considering removing Net::INET6Glue::FTP from the binary package
altogether, but I suppose that's not really necessary.
Other thoughts welcome.
