I would suggest grabbing the latest apt source rpm from

  http://enigma.freshrpms.net/pub/apt/

and "rpm --rebuild" it on your system.  Then just add the following to
your /etc/apt/sources.list:

  rpm http://ftp.silug.org/pub/apt redhat/skipjack/en/$(ARCH)/redhat os

Then "apt-get update && apt-get install vsftpd".

I should note that the apt repository is currently re-indexing the
updated skipjack beta, so that might not work until closer to noon
today.

Which reminds me...  The ISOs for the updated beta should be
available now on ftp.silug.org.
