Bug Description

Ubuntu 15.10 wily
ftpd:
  Installed: 0.17-35
  Candidate: 0.17-35

pretty much exact scenario as http://askubuntu.com/questions/637783/ftpd-service-failed-to-load-no-such-file-or-directory

1) apt-get install ftpd

2)

Service did not start by default after install...

...'which ftpd' turns up nothing

dpkg -L ftpd

results in:
/.

/usr/sbin/in.ftpd
/etc

/etc/pam.d/ftp

missing: .service file and/or even a symlink to ftpd itself?

root@Hedy:~# service ftpd start
Failed to start ftpd.service: Unit ftpd.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
