The bug is in Zope's FTP service, the workaround is to use SFTP when this
happens. We'll replace the Zope FTP server at some point and this bug will go
away.

The dput package on Ubuntu installs a /usr/share/dput/sftp.py file - maybe you
can copy it to your Debian instance although I'm surprised if it's not in
Debian's dput by now?
