With debian, you have several choices for tftp daemons. I think atftpd 
is the one you want.

You might try:   dpkg -l | grep tftp
and see which tftpd daemon you currently have installed.

If it's not atftpd, you can at least see the correct name for
the package by typing:   apt-cache search tftpd.
Once you find the full package name for atftpd, you can install
it and give it a shot.  It might require modifying startup parameters
for tftpd.

I'm still kind of a Debian newbie, so you might have to figure
some of that out on your own, or with help from someone else.
