Sorry to burst your bubble, but ferm really did appear out of nowhere.
I have a full rsynced backup of my Edgy system.  There was no ferm on it
anywhere.  There is now.  The only thing I did between then and now was
a system update.  The system update, one can infer, is the one that put
ferm in there.  I hadn't even heard of ferm before I had this problem.

I updated from a local mirror of the whole ubuntu archive, not from
disk.  That cut out the middle-man step.  ;)
