Package: tftpd
Severity: minor

tftpd does not support "tsize".  I don't know what that is, but it is 
needed by the PXE network bootloader.  atftpd and tftpd-hpa do have this 
feature.

Since network booting is the most common application of tftp, I suggest 
that it is worth mentioning this in the ftfpd package description.  For 
example:

   Tftpd is a server which supports the Internet Trivial File Transfer 
   Protocol (RFC 783). The server is normally started by inetd(8).
   Tftpd is not suitable for use with the PXE bootloader; for that,
   use atftpd or tftpd-hpa.

(See the note at the start of section 4.6 of the Debian Installer 
documentation.)
