Since this issue has been resolved in the latest development release of Ubuntu, I believe this can be marked as fixed. The typo doesn't seem critical, so I'm afraid it probably won't qualify for an SRU (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When) for older releases.
Thanks for taking your time to reporting this issue.
I looked a bit into this issue and discovered that it has been recently fixed in linux-ftpd 0.17-35 which is available in Ubuntu Wily. See the changes at http:// bazaar. launchpad. net/~ubuntu- branches/ ubuntu/ wily/linux- ftpd/wily/ revision/ 13 for details.
