To be honest, I don't understand your explanation.

Currently we have the situation that the proftpd.conf is never
overwritten, if it already exists. So even if we provide a new config
file; it is not delivered to the end user.

Regarding the current state of the git: IMHO it is in a good state to
release -3 to get rid of our RC bug. If you think we should revert
adc12897, feel free to do so.
