My suggestion would be, to use /var/lib/ftp as default directory.
Somehow both acct-user/ftp and net-ftp/ftpbase have no maintainer. Adding maintainers of proftpd and pure-ftpd in case someone wants to adopt these packages.
It's been a very long time since I last read into FTP documentation but IIRC, /home/ftp is required for anonymous FTP login. I might be wrong but when I set up anonymous FTP servers on Gentoo binhosts, I usually only can login and access the binpkgs without a username/password pair when /home/ftp exists and the binpkgs are available there. @mgorny: Since you added the acct-user/ftp package, can you shed some light into this?
I've just dumb-copied stuff that ftpbase did (or something like that).
