The problem appears to be that latest-ftp-release in (guix
gnu-maintenance) always constructs a ftp:// URL, even if mirror:// is
desired.

This happens for the gnu-ftp updater, which is according to a comment
next to its definition, obsolescent. I'll try changing the packages to
use the generic-html updater instead, maybe gnu-ftp can be removed
afterwards ...

I think I've found a solution: extract some mirror://-generating code
from check-mirror-url and use it in check-mirror-url. Currently trying
this out ...
