Package: proftpd-basic
Version: 1.3.3a-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

The postinstall scripts creates the users with the 'nogroup' group:
| Adding new user `proftpd' (UID 111) with group `nogroup' ...
| Not creating home directory `/var/run/proftpd'.
| Adding system user `ftp' (UID 112) ...
| Adding new user `ftp' (UID 112) with group `nogroup' ...

I don't think 'nogroup' was meant to be used by system services (apache is not 
run
by user nobody:nogroup but by www-data:www-data). Please configure the proftpd 
and
ftp users with their own private group with the same name.
('proftpd' is used by the server but 'ftp' seems to have no use by default).

Thanks
