Some extra information on tftp :
Currently, many package are tagged with tfp, which is miss-leading, IMO.
I propose the following description for the tftp tag :

Trivial File Transfer Protocol, a simple file transfer protocol.
TFTP allows a client to get or put a file onto a remote host.
One of its primary uses is the network-booting of diskless
nodes on a Local Area Network. It's designed to be easy to
implement so it fits on ROM.

Here's an (incomplete) list of package which would be tagged :
tftp - Trivial file transfer protocol client
tftpd - Trivial file transfer protocol server
tftp-hpa - HPA's tftp client
tftpd-hpa - HPA's tftp server
atftp - advanced TFTP client
atftpd - advanced TFTP server
dnsmasq - A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server
libcommons-net-java - internet protocol suite Java library
libnet-tftp-perl - Perl module for accessing TFTP servers
libnet-tftp-ruby - This is a pure Ruby implementation of TFTP
m68k-vme-tftplilo - Linux kernel TFTP boot loader for m68k VME
python-tftpy - A Pure-Python library for TFTP
