Great, thanks in advance!

Done.

I knew. That's one reason why I decided to roll a hopefully nice package
out of it and publish ist... :-)

Hmmm, wouldn't it make sense to also split inetutils and keep tftp* in a
separate package? So users are not forced to switch?

Done.

Please find an updated version here:

wget -r -np -nH -R "index*" \
	http://h1629194.serverkompetenz.net/tftp-hpa-2/

Changes:

----- version 5.0-2 -- 2010-10-01 -----
* split up in tftp-hpa and tftp-hpa-server
* rename in.tftpd to tftpd.exe as suggested by Charles Wilson
  to reflect inetutils known naming scheme
* document source patch (which turns of privilege drop)

As you can see, I also documented my patch which removes the setreuid()
switch to nobody for tftp-hpa. Is this ok in your eyes?

Anything I should do here?

Thx anyways. :-)
