The same as what you would do with any other buggy package in Debian: file
a bug.  I don't know how ftpmaster wants to handle that case, but I
suspect replying to the REJECT message to also let them know about the
problem would be reasonable.

This is definitely something I want to do in the near future in Lintian,
but if you could file a wishlist bug against Lintian, that would ensure
that we don't forget.
