Not sure (it is included in the base set but seems to get uninstalled
rather easily).

 how do I get it back.

Go to your favourite debian ftp site and look for it in
project/experimental.  Download it and install it with dpkg -i
dpkg-ftp-1.4.2.deb.

 how do I ftp with dpkg, is it possible?

You can only do it with dselect.

 This is becoming a FAQ - why is this happening?

I presume that a lot of people are installing some cdrom version or the 
released version of Debian.  The changes were in the unstable version.
How many weeks to go for the next release?
