Title:
  $OPTIONS variable missing in "ExecStartPre" of proftpd-core systemd
  unit

Status in proftpd-dfsg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Package: proftpd-core
  Version: 1.3.7c+dfsg-1build1
  Architecture: amd64

  The $OPTIONS environment variable is defined in the
  /lib/systemd/system/proftpd.service file and used in the "ExecStart"
  line when starting the service, but it is not used when calling
  --configtest in the "ExecStartPre" line:

  [Service]
  Type=forking
  Environment=OPTIONS= CONFIG_FILE=/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
  EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/proftpd
  ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/proftpd --configtest -c $CONFIG_FILE
  ExecStart=/usr/sbin/proftpd -c $CONFIG_FILE $OPTIONS
  ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
  PIDFile=/run/proftpd.pid

  If the server's hostname cannot be resolved for some reason, proftpd will not start.
  Adding the line below to the /etc/default/proftpd file can circumvent this issue:

  OPTIONS="-S 0.0.0.0"

  However, due to the absence of the $OPTIONS variable in
  "ExecStartPre", the OPTIONS line in the /etc/default/proftpd will be
  ignored, "--configtest" will fail and proftpd will not start.

  We believe the $OPTIONS variable should be added to the "ExecStartPre"
  line.

  Best regards,
