Subject: apt: standard apt ftp password
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal
apt should use a more standard anonymous ftp password
I've seen intranets with strict firewalls that only let anonymous ftp with
mozilla@ as password (password used by netscape communicator when doing ftp)
And I've heard of people having trouble installing debian with apt/ftp

I also think such firewalls are broken, but c'est la vie.
