John, this is the same error because the fix for this bug doesn't
correctly check if the default user/group 'ftp' exits.
To reproduce :
$ sudo adduser --system --group ftpd
$ sudo apt-get install vsftpd
In postinst the following line is wrong
if ! getent passwd | grep -q "^${_USERNAME}"
and should be at least
if ! getent passwd | grep -qw "^${_USERNAME}"
or simply:
if ! getent passwd "${_USERNAME}"
Same thing for checking the existence of the group. BTW the problem
still exists in 10.10.
