Comment 6 for bug 477

I thought the pure-ftpd package would simplify my installation of the software but when I came across this problem I quickly removed it, compiled manually from the sources and wrote my own init.d script instead. Why? Because pureftpd SHIPS with both a perl and a python script to launch the daemon from a single config file already. Whoever designed this ludicrous package clearly had no intention of ever using the software at all. There is simply no reason to reinvent this software with any crazy distribution paradigms: one documented configuration file, job done.
