 I just removed it from unstable at the maintainer's request, as the same
 version is in sarge, it probably should be dropped from sarge too in a
 point release.

Removing a vulnerable package (because it is vulnerable) is a very bad idea.

oftpd is vulnerable to anothere security hole. This time a crafted FTP
USER command can cause a crash. Since a buffer overflow is involved,
it's possible that this can be used to execute arbitrary code.
