Hi Marius!

Cool!

I was thinking we could have a generic FTP updater (rather
FTP-with-signature updater). It would match packages whose source is
fetched over ftp already, or packages that have a special 'ftp-url
property, say.
How does that sound?
In the meantime your 3 patches LGTM. You can definitely apply #2 and
#3; as for #1, I think it’s fine, and we can always remove it when we
have a more generic updater.
Thanks!
Ludo’.
