Bug#817077: proftpd-basic: please backport proftpd 1.3.5 to Wheezy

[Benjamin Sonntag]

Package: proftpd-basic
Version: 1.3.5a-1~bpo-octopuce.1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to compile proftpd from Jessie (1.3.5) and Sid (1.3.5a) in a stock wheezy, and the backport process was very easy:
- apt-get source proftpd
- apt-get build-dep proftpd
- cd proftpd* && dpkg-buildpackage
- cd .. && debrsign + dput 

This package is working on my server now. 
The main reasons for this backport are: 
- Proftpd 1.3.4 ignores DHParam file (even though it's set in the parameters) 
- Proftpd 1.3.4 can't do TLS 1.1 or 1.2
- Proftpd 1.3.4 can't force Server-side Ciphers in TLS.

So, could you please create an official backport of proftpd for Wheezy so that we have good crypto? 

Thanks! 

Benjamin Sonntag
