Many thanks for your bug report!

I've applied now the patch in my local copy. I had the hope that we
would get now dbgsym packages, which is not the case. I see the
following messages in the build log:

dh_builddeb: Not building dbgsym package for proftpd-basic as it has no
control file
dh_builddeb: Please use dh_gencontrol to avoid this issue

However we do call dh_gencontrol right before the dh_builddeb call. Do
you have a fast explanation why we don't see debug packages?

Many thanks!

Hilmar
