Package: tftpd Version: 0.17-18 AFAICT netkit's tftpd is inferior to tftpd-hpa in every respect: https://wiki.debian.org/Tftp
netkit-tftpd is not capable of booting some modern computers. For example, I have a Softiron ARM64 server with UEFI firmware which require support for the file size option. aftpd and dnsmasq seem like it still has good reasons to exist. Unlike netkit-tftp they are at least not a problem if people happen to get them through not knowing better. I suggest that we should: * Remove the netkit-tftp package. * Have tftpd-hpa Provide tftpd. If this is not a good idea then we should probably rename the netkit-tftp binary package `tftpd' and replace it with a suitable transitional package. What do you think ?
