Integrate dpkg-ftp into dselect

It requires perl to work but don't add it as a dependency
but only as a suggests and instead have a nice error
message to invite the user to install the perl package.

Other minor changes include removal of latin1 characters,
moving the README.mirrors file inside the method directory
and renaming the Dpkg::Ftp module to Dselect::Ftp.

+Debian GNU/Linux - worldwide mirror sites
+
+This file is broken up into two separate mirror listings:
+primary and Secondary mirror sites.  The definitions are as follows:
+
+A Primary mirror site has good bandwidth, is available 24 hours a day,
+and has an easy to remember names of the form ftp.<country>.debian.org.
+Additionally, most of them are updated automatically after updates to the
+Debian archive.
+
+A Secondary mirror site may have restrictions on what they
+mirror (due to space restrictions). Just because a site is Secondary doesn't
+necessarily mean it'll be any slower or less up to date than a Primary site.
+
+Use the site closest to you for the fastest downloads possible whether is be
+a primary or secondary site. The program <em>netselect</em> can be used to
+determine the fastest of a list of sites.
+
+If you know of any mirrors that are missing from this list,
+please have the site maintainer fill out
+http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit
+To contact the maintainer of this page, write to
+mirrors@debian.org
