4.4.2. The ftp-master server

The ftp-master.debian.org server holds the canonical copy of the Debian archive. Generally, packages uploaded to ftp.upload.debian.org end up on this server; see Uploading a package.

It is restricted; a mirror is available on mirror.ftp-master.debian.org.

Problems with the Debian FTP archive generally need to be reported as bugs against the ftp.debian.org pseudo-package or an email to ftpmaster@debian.org, but also see the procedures in Moving, removing, renaming, orphaning, adopting, and reintroducing packages.
