Bug#740177: Prospective proftpd should replace inetd/xinetd with socket systemd

[Francesco Paolo Lovergine]

Package: proftpd-basic
Version: 1.3.5~rc4-1
Severity: normal

This is just for a future possible enahancement. In the meantime the
inetd/xinetd use should be deprecated and avoided in order to not having
problems such as those pointed on RH bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708997)

Unfortunately, the socket implementation has issues at upstream level:

It does not seem that it will be managed any time soon.
