Title:
  Including a configuration directory includes all files, not just
  *.conf files

Status in Proftpd Dfsg:
  New
Status in proftpd-dfsg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Include directive, when given a directory as parameter (such as
  /etc/proftpd/conf.d/, as in the stock /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf),
  causes all files in said directory to be read, not just ones ending in
  .conf. This causes problems if, for instance, I'm using vim to edit a
  file in the included directory while the proftpd service is being
  (re)started: vim stores a .swp file in the same directory, and proftpd
  may fail to start with "fatal: unknown configuration directive" when
  it tries to parse the .swp file.
