Ooh yeah, Christopher's hint nailed it! Now I can keep my system updated again without having to repeat the proftpd downgrade procedure afterwards. Thanks!

I guess now we just have to wait for this issue to be fixed by some warm hearted person. The 1.3.2e fix seems actually to have been released by the proftpd team back in FEBRUARY so I don't think anyone could say that it would be overly hasty to include it now?

A NOTE to all of us downgraders (put a yellow sticker up right now)...
  WHEN THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED:
  DON'T FORGET TO DELETE THE DOWNGRADE PIN ( sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/proftpd ) !
  otherwise the proftpd server will remain downgraded forever, which of course can get this saga (yes, I'm swedish ;) to end up in security holes!

Best regards Claes Löfqvist.
